Liam McNeeley will depart UConn to enter the 2025 NBA draft. McNeeley is a potential lottery choose after he was named Massive East Freshman of the 12 months. McNeeley averaged 14.5 factors, 6.0 rebounds and a pair of.3 assists.
“It has been a dream of mine to play within the NBA,” McNeeley informed ESPN. “I have been ready a very long time for this second. I am so grateful and grateful to have been part of UConn, to have performed for these coaches and alongside these teammates. We had a lot enjoyable, and I would not commerce it for something on the planet.
“My objective was to win a nationwide championship. That did not occur, however I realized a lot as a participant and particular person throughout my time there.”
McNeeley didn’t shoot the ball as persistently this season (32%) as scouts could have hoped. McNeeley was thought-about top-of-the-line shooters within the class after taking part in for Montverde alongside Cooper Flagg and Derik Queen.
