James Nnaji, the 31st overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, is joining Baylor this season, his agents told DraftExpress’ Jonathan Givony.
The Nigerian 7-footer was granted four years of eligibility by the NCAA, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.
Nnaji, 21, was drafted by the Detroit Pistons but never played in an NBA game. He’ll be the first athlete to play college basketball after being selected in the NBA draft.
