Uzan is considered a potential second-round pick this year, with his ability to score and run offenses. He established himself as a tremendous passer and playmaker for the Cougars, posting 24 games with one or fewer turnovers this past season.
The 22-year-old played an integral role in Houston advancing to the national championship game for the third time in program history. They ultimately came up just short against Florida from making Kelvin Sampson the oldest coach in history to win a title (69).
Uzan will be able to gauge his draft stock in team workouts and the combine on May 11-18 in Chicago, Illinois. He plans on returning to Houston next season should he opt to withdraw his name from the draft consideration by May 28.
The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.
