After three accomplished seasons at Southern Methodist University, Shake Milton is taking the next step in his career as he’s officially declared for the 2018 NBA Draft.

Following the end to SMU’s struggling season this year, versatile guard Shake Milton has set his sights on the NBA as he has officially declared for the 2018 NBA Draft.

The announcement came after a shortened junior season for the Oklahoma native as he missed the final 11 games of the year due to suffering a hand injury, which was not exactly a ceremonious note to cap off his three years in Dallas.

Regardless, the growth Milton has shown while with SMU certainly makes him an appealing fit as it to relates to where the NBA game has been steadily trending toward in recent years.
