The decision comes shortly after guard Remy Martin announced he declaration for the draft. However, in White’s case it appears he is more testing the waters and leaving open the door to return for his senior season in Tempe.
White nearly averaged a double double over the course of the 2019-20 season with 10.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. Sun Devil coach Bobby Hurley tweeted “I strongly support Mello’s decision to explore the NBA draft process,” shortly after the news broke on Twitter.
