Top Prospects Who Withdrew From 2024 NBA Draft

(BYU: Guard, Senior, 6-7)

HoopsHype Draft Predictor Ranking: 65 

Jaxson Robinson, the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year at BYU, followed head coach Mark Pope to Kentucky for his final year of eligibility.

“Robinson has been one of the most improved players in the country for two straight years and is barely scratching the surface of his potential,” Pope said. “His growth trajectory is incredible. He is an elite-level shooter, is increasingly dangerous off the bounce and at the rim, and has the potential to become a big-time playmaker. Jaxson guards with length and balance and understands how important it is to build strong relationships with his teammates. On a personal level, I’m so excited I get to finish his college journey with him in pursuit of Kentucky’s ninth national championship.”

Robinson has risen to the occasion in big games, such as scoring 25 points in the NCAA Tournament against Duquesne and – in arguably BYU’s six most notable victories last season – Robinson averaged 16.8 points on 41.5 percent from 3-point range and sank 16 of 17 free throws in wins against Kansas, Baylor, Texas, Iowa State, San Diego State, and NC State.
