In response to penn nation
The New Haven Register has an article about the potential for Oni to return to Yale.
https://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/Miye-O ni...
- Oni will petition the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee to see where — if at all — he will be selected in the 2019 NBA draft. He is allowed to hire an agent to help him through the process. -
- First-round picks get guaranteed money based on what pick they’re selected with. Money is not guaranteed for second-round picks, but the first 10 or 15 second-rounders usually find themselves in a pretty good position, often with guaranteed contracts. It’s players in the bottom half of the second round (or, of course, those that go undrafted) that have the toughest decisions to make. If Oni stayed in the draft but wasn’t selected, he Oni could still return to Yale, as long as he breaks off his agreement with his agent.
One mock draft website, NBAdraft.net, has Oni going with the 55th overall pick (ironically, one pick ahead of his former Yale teammate, Makai Mason, who played this past season as a grad transfer at Baylor). An ESPN mock draft currently has Oni going with the 53rd overall pick. That’s the area where Oni will have a very touch decision to make. -
