Joshua Primo selected No. 12 overall by San Antonio Spurs in 2021 NBA draft
Former Alabama guard Joshua Primo only played one season with the program before declaring for the 2021 NBA draft. The decision has already paid off, as Primo was drafted No. 12 overall by the San Antonio Spurs.
Primo’s decision to enter the draft without an agent to retain college eligibility did not shock many, as it now seems commonplace for young players to participate in the process to obtain NBA scouting evaluations.
However, when Primo hired an agent and decided to remain in the NBA draft, the Alabama fanbase was happy for him, but shocked.
Quickly, his name shot up big boards and mock draft. None of which predicted Primo being drafted as high as No. 12.
The youngest player in the 2021 draft class and former Crimson Tide guard is heading to San Antonio.
