The entire statement from IU media relations is as follows:

Bloomington, Indiana: Kanaan Carlyle, a transfer, has joined the Indiana men’s basketball team, according to a statement made by head coach Mike Woodson on Wednesday. Carlyle, who played one season at Stanford and was named to the Pac-12 Freshman Team, comes to Indiana.

In his one and only season with the Cardinal, the 6-3 guard averaged 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 32.0% (32 of100) from the 3-point range. Of the 23 games he played, the Atlanta native scored in double figures in 15 of them and scored 20 points or more in three of them.

Carlyle made the All-Pac-12 Freshman Team as an honorable mention pick. He was named the Dick Vitale Diaper Dandy of the Week, the Associated Press National Player of the Week, and the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week on January 2, 2024, following his performance on December 31 against No. 4 Arizona, when he scored 28 points on 6-of-8 3-point shooting, pulled down eight rebounds, and blocked two shots.

He was a unanimous four-star, top-60 recruit out of high school and Georgia’s fourth-ranked player. Before playing for Overtime Elite during his final year, Carlyle spent his first three years of high school at Milton. He led the YNG Dreamers to the OTE Championship game and averaged 9.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game for the YNG Dreamers in OTE. In 2021, Carlyle guided Milton to a state championship in Georgia while serving as a sophomore.

At the 2022 FIBA U18 Americas championship in Tijuana, Mexico, he was a member of the USA Basketball team that took home the gold medal.

Woodson regarding Carlyle

With the ball in his hands, Kanaan is a dynamic player who possesses the length and skill set to generate scoring opportunities for both himself and other players. His shooting stroke complements his ability off the bounce well. He has the physical attributes and mentality to be a productive defender for our team. We can’t wait to have him and his family visit IU.

The Barclays Center in New York City will host the NBA Draft on June 26 and 27.

This summer, the NBA Draft will be held at New York City’s Barclays Center. Preparing for the pre-draft phase, hundreds of players from around the world are hoping to hear their names called in June.

Basketball star Kel’el Ware of Indiana is one of those players. The Oregon transfer had several inquiries regarding his motor and desire when he arrived at Bloomington. This season, he provided answers to all of those queries, winning Third Team and Defensive All-Big Ten recognition.

Ware formally declares for the draft when?

Players who have graduated, been four years removed from their high school class, or played overseas are automatically eligible for the draft. Players such as Ware are required to certify as early entrants. International athletes must be freed from their professional or club team’s contract at the age of 19.

There is a window of opportunity for players who want to declare early to either stay in the draft or go back to school. The dates of that window are April 27 to June 16. Participants are able to get details about their draft standing. NBA pre-draft camps are another option for early participants to show off their skills and learn more about their draft position.

Other Important Dates: May 12 is the NBA Draft Lottery.
