File Photo by Aaron Josefczyk/UPI | License Photo May 27 (UPI) -- Yaxel Lendeborg and Alex Condon, who were projected as first-round picks in some mock drafts, withdrew their names from the 2025 NBA Draft pool and will return to college, they announced Tuesday on social media. Lendeborg, who spent the last two seasons at UAB, is set to play for the Michigan Wolverines in 2025-26. Condon will return for another season with the reigning champion Florida Gators. Lendeborg, a 6-foot-9 forward, averaged 17.7 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game over 37 appearances last season for the Blazers. The two-time All-AAC selection and Defensive Player of the Year was projected as the No. 23 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, according to Condon, a 6-foot-11 forward, averaged 10,6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game over 37 appearances last season. The All-SEC selection was projected as a late first or early second-round pick. Condon and Lendeborg declared for the 2025 NBA Draft in April, but maintained their collegiate eligibility. Duke's Cooper Flagg, who led the Blue Devils to the NCAA title game, where they lost to Florida, is the projected top overall pick. The 2025 NBA Draft will be held June 25 and 26 in Brooklyn.

MSU star Jase Richardson drops to late first round in new NBA Mock Draft
MSU star Jase Richardson drops to late first round in new NBA Mock Draft Spartans standout Jase Richardson nearly dropped out of the first round in the latest NBA Mock Draft from a popular NBA Draft site. released an updated mock draft on Friday, which had Richardson landing in the late first round. The site mocked Richardson to the Brooklyn Nets with the No. 26 overall pick. Richardson starred for Michigan State in his lone season in college hoops, helping lead the green-and-white to the Big Ten title and Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. He finished the season averaging 12.1 points per game and shooting better than 40% from 3-point range. When Richardson declared for the NBA draft, he was projected as a lottery pick. However, he has recently slipped on the draft boards of many mocks. He is now typically landing in the late first round of the many NBA Mock Drafts I've came across in the past week. At this point, Richardson seems set on remaining in the draft despite his recent slip. But, he can still return to Michigan State for another season. He must make that decision by May 28. Check out the complete updated NBA Mock Draft from here.
