PJ Haggerty Withdraws NBA Draft Joins Kansas State Transfer

News summary

PJ Haggerty, the American Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a top collegiate guard, has committed to Kansas State for his fourth college team in four years after withdrawing from the 2025 NBA Draft. His move has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some criticizing his multiple transfers and questioning his loyalty, while others are optimistic about the impact he could have on the Wildcats under coach Jerome Tang. Haggerty averaged 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists last season, leading Memphis to a 29-6 record and an AAC title, but his transfer was reportedly influenced by NIL considerations and financial negotiations, with initial demands of $4 million reportedly reduced to about $2.5 million. His commitment strengthens Kansas State's roster, which includes several other transfers, though concerns remain about whether this move will help or hinder his draft stock, given comparisons to other players who struggled after transferring. The Wildcats finished last season with a losing record, but Haggerty's addition is seen as a potential game-changer for the program.
