After leading Auburn to its first ever No. 1 ranking in men’s basketball, star Tigers freshman Jabari Smith has decided to enter the NBA draft.
Smith, a potential No. 1 pick, announced his decision in a video posted to social media by the Auburn men’s basketball Twitter account.
“Auburn will forever be my home and will be a place that is going to be a part of me forever,” Smith said in the video. “The long hours in the gym and the weight room have given me this opportunity and the chance to chase my dream of playing in the NBA. But none of this would have ever been possible without the love and the sacrifices that were made by my dad and my mom.
