Syracuse junior guard Tyus Battle will leave the school and enter the 2019 NBA Draft, a source told SNY's Adam Zagoria.
The 6-foot-6 Battle is graduating from Syracuse this spring, doing so in three years. Despite leading the Orange in scoring the past two seasons, he's not considered a first-round prospect, with many mocks predicting he'll go undrafted. An NBA executive told Zagoria that Battle could be a candidate to land a two-way contract.
Battle scored 16 points in Syracuse's season-ending tournament loss to Baylor on Thursday.
