BYU Senior Jaxson Robinson Enters Transfer Portal While Keeping NBA Draft Option Open
BYU senior Jaxson Robinson, a standout basketball player and projected NBA draft pick, recently made headlines by announcing his decision to enter the transfer portal. Robinson, who graduated from BYU, had initially declared his intention to enter the NBA draft. However, he is now exploring all of his options by entering the transfer portal as well.
Robinson’s choice to enter the transfer portal comes in the wake of a coaching change at BYU. With the uncertainty surrounding the program, he wants to keep his options open, including the possibility of returning to college for another season. Robinson had a breakout season in the Big 12, averaging an impressive 14.2 points per game and earning the title of Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year.
Originally transferring to BYU from Arkansas, Robinson made an immediate impact by starting in 30 games during his first season with the Cougars. His success on the court has not gone unnoticed, as he is currently ranked No. 55 in ESPN’s NBA draft rankings. This has led to Robinson considering whether to return to college for another season or to take his chances in the NBA draft.
Robinson is not the only player from BYU to enter the transfer portal following the coaching change. However, some players have made the decision to stay and play under new coach Kevin Young. In another turn of events, former ESPN 100 recruit Collin Chandler has chosen to follow former BYU coach Mark Pope to Kentucky.
NBA draft expert Jonathan Givony has weighed in on Robinson’s potential as an NBA draft pick, providing valuable insights into his future in professional basketball. As Robinson navigates through this pivotal time in his career, basketball fans eagerly await his final decision on whether he will return to college or pursue his dream of playing in the NBA.
