Kentucky guard Jaland Lowe, a transfer from Pitt, has withdrawn from this summer’s NBA draft.
“Can’t miss this opportunity,” Lowe posted Thursday on X along with photos of himself in a Wildcats uniform and a message to Kentucky fans: “Big Blue Nation See you soon!”
As a 2024-25 sophomore, Lowe averaged 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 31 starts for the Panthers. He earned a spot on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference third team.
Lowe averaged 13.1 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 boards and 1.3 steals in 64 games (50 starts) over two seasons at Pitt.
“I love his ability as a playmaker,” Kentucky coach Mark Pope said earlier this offseason, per On3.com. “He’s going to be surprised, and he knows it, by having a chance to actually get an open catch-and-shoot once in a while, and have guys that demand space on the floor.
“I expect he’s going to take a massive jump also in his efficiency and his leadership. We’re really excited about him. I think he’s got a huge upside.”
