Scotty Pippen Jr. declares for 2022 NBA Draft / News - Basketnews.com
The Vanderbilt Commodores guard Scotty Pippen Jr. is heading to the 2022 NBA draft, and the Southeastern Conference's leading scorer is signing with an agent, according to ESPN.
Pippen announced his decision on Monday via a social media post. He thanked Nashville and Vanderbilt fans for the warm welcome.
"To the city of Nashville, thank you for making me feel at home," Pippen Jr. wrote on his Twitter account. "This community has helped shape me into the person and player I am today, and I'm forever grateful for that."
The son of six-time NBA champ and one of the league's 50 greatest players Scottie Pippen, the 21-year-old tested his NBA draft stock a year ago before returning to play his junior season with the Commodores.
Pippen was the second scorer in the SEC in his sophomore year, averaging 20.8 points, and improved to first this past season with 20.4 points a game.
He scored 30 or more points five times in the 2021-22 season and set a Vanderbilt record with 736 points this season.
