U.S.A. – Senior men’s national team member and Wisconsin Badger A.J. Storr is ready to take his game to the next level.

Storr announced Tuesday that he has declared for the 2024 NBA draft but will maintain his college eligibility.

The 6’7″ guard has an opportunity to go through the process, receive feedback from franchises and decide on the next step, whether that’s to remain in the draft or return to college for his junior season.

Storr made his national team debut for The Bahamas last summer in exhibition play against the Kansas Jayhawks, prior to the Olympic Pre-Qualifier.

He led the Badgers in scoring at 16.8 points per game, highlighted by a 22-point per-game run in the BIG 10 tournament.

A four-star recruit out of the IMG Academy, Storr began his collegiate career at St. John’s where he was named to the Big East all-freshman team.
