Brissett, who last month participated in the NBA Draft Combine, averaged 12.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a sophomore. The forward drifted from a late-second round selection to undrafted in most mock drafts.
“He wanted to go to the NBA,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim told syracuse.com last week. “He may not get drafted. He may have been better coming back. We’ll never know the answer to that. He has talent.”
2019 marks the first time since 1997 that the Orange haven’t had a player picked in two-straight seasons.
Brissett will join a pair of former Atlantic Coast Conference rivals on the squad, as Florida State’s Mfiondu Kabengele and Terance Mann were both drafted by the Clippers Thursday night.
