Oshae Brissett will test the NBA Draft process, per Stadium. Tyus Battle has already been reported as leaving Syracuse for the NBA Draft.

A year ago, Battle entered and went through the NBA Draft process before withdrawing. Since Brissett hasn’t signed with an agent, he can compete in the NBA Draft Combine from May 14-19 in Chicago and has until 5 p.m. on June 10 to withdraw his name from the draft.

Brissett shone down the stretch of the 2017-18 season as a freshman at Syracuse, becoming one of Orange’s best offensive players player by the time the season turned to March. But he declined in a few ways as a sophomore, including dropping more than two points per game off his scoring average. The 6-foot-8 native of Canada didn’t refine his shooting stroke and couldn’t find consistency. 

In mock drafts for last year’s NBA Draft, Brissett pushed himself into late-first round consideration. But throughout the entirety of his sophomore year, he’s rarely been listed as being drafted by numerous websites. He and SU head coach Jim Boeheim both lamented his finishing at the rim, at times, which doesn’t bode well for a forward who struggles as a perimeter shooter.

The last time Syracuse had two players leave early to enter the NBA Draft was 2014. That year, Tyler Ennis left after his freshman season and Jerami Grant departed after his sophomore campaign.

Syracuse will be reportedly without Battle and departing seniors Frank Howard and Paschal Chukwu next season. If Brissett kept his name in the draft, he’d be the fourth SU starter not back next year. And if Brissett doesn’t return, his final shot in a Syracuse uniform would be a missed righty finger roll in the NCAA Tournament loss to Baylor.
