Arkansas guard Devo Davis announces decision to return to Razorbacks for 2023-2024 season
Arkansas guard Devo Davis aka Davonte Davis is withdrawing his name from the 2023 NBA Draft and returning to the Razorbacks for another season, he announced on his Twitter page Wednesday evening. He’s an extremely good defender and averaged 10.9 points per game last year for the Hogs. His best game of the year came against the Kansas Jayhawks in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, when he erupted for 25 points in his team’s 72-71 upset victory.
Check out his announcement below.
He also averaged 4.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, while shooting 41.5 percent from the field this year. Davis also recently became just the ninth Razorback in program history to tally 900+ points, 400+ rebounds, 200+ assists, and 100+ steals in his Arkansas career.
He’s made a drastic improvement from three-point range in his last 21 games. Davis has drilled 40 of his last 97 three-point attempts (41.2%), averaging 12.9 points per game during that time frame. During his first 81 career games, he only connected on 29 of 126 threes (23%).

To be eligible for the NBA Draft, players must be at least 19 years in age during the calendar year that the draft is held and at least one NBA season from their high school graduation date, or the date that would have been if they are not graduated. It is not required that player spend that one year playing college basketball, though. Players can play in either college, abroad, or the G League Ignite if they choose so.
While this is a significant change from what the rules once were, players are eligible to enter their names into the NBA Draft pool and explore their options by hiring an agent to go through the process, while still keeping their college eligibility. The deadline to make that move is on April 23 beginning at 11:59 p.m. ET. Players have until June 12 at 5 p.m. ET to withdraw their name from the pool and return to college.
The NBA Draft Lottery will be held on May 16, which is also the start of the NBA Conference Finals.
