Guard Labaron Philon has withdrawn as an early entry candidate for the 2025 NBA Draft. Philon will return to Alabama for his sophomore season.
The 6-foot-4 combo guard had been projected a potential late first-round or early second-round pick. By returning to the Crimson Tide, Philon will be able to cash in on NIL earnings, while improving his draft stock.
As a freshman, Philon averaged 10.6 points, 3.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game. He shot 45% from the field, but only 31.5% on 3.4 three-point attempts per game.
