Syracuse freshman Judah Mintz declares for draft, to retain eligibility
Syracuse freshman guard Judah Mintz announced this week that he will declare for the 2023 NBA draft while maintaining his remaining collegiate eligibility.
Mintz was named to the ACC All-Rookie Team after averaging 16.3 points, 4.6 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 steals on 44.3% shooting from the field in 32 games. He led the conference in steals (59) and was second in steal percentage (3.2).
The 6-foot-3 standout excelled as a floor general with the Orange. He is viewed as a potential second-round pick this year given his ability to create for himself and get others involved. He also has great court vision and can make every pass needed.

Mintz will have the opportunity to go through the pre-draft process and gain feedback from teams on his future. He could also be invited to compete in either the draft combine or G League Elite Camp in May in front of scouts and executives.
He has until June 1 to withdraw from the draft and maintain his eligibility.
