Vanderbilt sophomore Scotty Pippen Jr. has been declared for the 2021 NBA draft, but will maintain his college eligibility, he announced on social media Saturday.
Pippen, son of the Chicago Bulls Hall of Fame member, led the Commodores in scoring (20.8 points per game), assists (4.9 points per game) and steals (1.8 points per game) last season.
