On Tuesday, the Ohio State Buckeyes got some tough news as reports surfaced that Duane Washington would be remaining in the 2021 NBA Draft and foregoing his remaining eligibility with the program. While Buckeye fans knew this was a possibility, it will certainly be a major blow for Chris Holtmann as he hoped to build off last year.

Washington arrived on campus in 2018 as a widely overlooked prospect and overachieved on expectations, playing 94 games for the Buckeyes and averaging an impressive 32.2 minutes, 16.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game last year. His performance was a key part of Ohio State’s run to a two seed in last year’s NCAA Tournament and a runner-up finish in the 2021 Big Ten Tournament.
