被視為2020選秀狀元人選之一的曼菲斯大學七呎長人James Wiseman，在歷經與NCAA的紛爭之後，今日宣布他會好好準備明年選秀，並且與經紀公司Excel Sports簽約。

這家經紀公司擁有許多知名球員，像是金塊球星Nikola Jokic、塞爾提克球星Kemba Walker以及騎士球星Kevin Love等等。

因為招募疑雲被NCAA開罰且禁賽的Wiseman，本季只出賽了三場，而對於被禁賽以外還需捐款鉅額11500美金的判罰，Wiseman決定直接退學。

在僅有的三場比賽，他拿下了場均19.7分10.7籃板的數據。

儘管只有三場亮相的機會，Wiseman的預測順位仍在前五名中。然而隨著他退學，經紀公司將如何展現Wiseman的球技給聯盟各球隊看到，將會很大的影響他的選秀順位。

Today I formally withdrew from the University of Memphis and I will be preparing for the next chapter of my life. Ever since I was a little kid, it’s been a dream of mine to play in the NBA. Throughout this process, I’ve asked God to ordain my steps and lead me in the right direction. God is my lord and salvation, and throughout this process he has comforted me. This was not how I expected my freshman season to be, but I’m thankful for everyone who has supported my family and me throughout this process. I want to thank the coaches and staff for all their support and my teammates for pushing me everyday at practice. I feel blessed for the opportunity to be a Tiger and for having the honor to play with these special group of guys. I can’t wait to see what all they accomplish this season. The friends and fans of Tiger Nation will always hold a place in my heart. #GoTigersGo
