If you see a story out there by NBC Sports about Nico Mannion declaring for the NBA Draft after last night's game it is incorrect. A writer for NBC Sports, who was not at the game nor the press conference, took something written by someone else who was at the game and interpreted it incorrectly. Earlier in the season Sean Miller indicated that Mannion would be gone and that was written by an Associated Press writer when discussing players having their last game at McKale Center.
The NBC writer took that literally that Sean Miller had confirmed last night that Mannion was entering the draft. No such conversation happened and the topic didn't even come up. As of this point Mannion has not declared for the NBA Draft although the expectation remains that he will do so at some point.
Just wanted to clarify since a lot of people ran with the NBC Sports story that is flat out false.
