Mitchell’s Fifth Year Could Shake NBA Rules | Boston Celtics News
Description
A federal court ruling could let undrafted 2022 NBA prospect Dillon Mitchell return to college for a fifth year — a move that could net him over a million in NIL money at St. John’s, far more than a two-way deal with Boston. The Celtics have until Sept. 5 to sign him or risk losing his draft rights, which could expire by the 2027 draft if he delays entering the league. This isn’t like the typical “draft and stash” overseas route — it’s more like sitting out a year, opening new territory for player agency. With the NCAA appealing, uncertainty remains, but Boston still has options, including signing him under the luxury tax threshold, while delaying his development amid stiff competition for minutes.
