Arizona State transfer Joson Sanon has pulled out of the NBA draft and will join Rick Pitino’s team, he told The Post.
The 6-foot-5 Sanon was the first of seven transfers to commit to the Johnnies, but still wanted to go through the draft process. After workouts with the Wizards, Celtics and Hornets, he opted to return to school for his sophomore season.
His agent, Derek Malloy of Lift Sports Management, said Sanon had second-round options on the table, but he wanted to play his way into a better spot in a year. The feedback they received was that Sanon has lottery pick potential with further development.
