Alabama freshman forward Jarin Stevenson declares for 2024 NBA Draft
Alabama freshman forward Jarin Stevenson has declared for the 2024 NBA Draft. His name was on the list of early entrants, which was revealed on Tuesday. Although Stevenson has yet to publicly announce his decision, he has a month to receive feedback and return.
Stevenson played in all 37 of Alabama’s games this past season and made five starts during SEC play. The true freshman averaged 5.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. He had his best outing in the Crimson Tide’s first-ever Elite Eight win over Clemson, where he scored a season-high 19 points while converting a season-best five 3-pointers.
Stevenson scored in double figures six times throughout his freshman campaign, including three of his first four college games. He also recorded four games with five rebounds.
Stevenson was part of Alabama’s 2023 signing class after reclassifying from the 2024 cycle. He was set to be a senior in high school this past season but played in every game for the Crimson Tide. A Chapel Hill, North Carolina native, Stevenson was considered the No. 21 overall recruit in 2023 and No. 1 player in the state, per the On3 Industry Rankings.
Stevenson is the second Alabama player to enter the 2024 NBA Draft, joining senior guard Mark Sears. The deadline for early entrants to withdraw and return to school is May 29.
