The NBA released a list of 242 players from colleges and professional teams who have applied for early entry into the 2023 draft and two members of UCF men’s basketball appeared. Taylor Hendricks, a projected top-10 pick in the June 22 draft, was included as expected. A name that’s somewhat surprising to see listed is UCF guard Ithiel Horton. While Hendricks had already publicly declared for the draft more than a month ago — first by telling ESPN and then sharing a graphic on social media — Horton’s decision to file for early entry comes with little to no fanfare. The redshirt senior guard was one of two Knights to start all 34 games this past season.
