Declares for draft Sanon has declared for the 2025 NBA Draft but remains committed to St. John's and is expected to play in college in the 2025-26 season, according to Adam Zagoria of NJ.com.
Impact During the 2024-25 Big 12 Conference's regular season, Sanon logged 10.3 points per game. So if Pitino and his coaching staff help their newest student's defense improve, he becomes more than a good guard. He's expected to go through the entire draft process, but in the end, he's likely to return to play for head coach Rick Pitino.

Impact According to Sanon's agent Derek Malloy, he encouraged the freshman to take an opportunity for a Hall of Fame coach. In college basketball, Pitino is among the most proven. "Coach Pitino believes in me and my potential and what he can do for me," Sanon told ESPN. "The way Coach P teaches defense is something I want to invest my time into." Offensively, Sanon is a lot more proven, which makes his commitment to St. John's big news. While enrolled at Arizona State, a Power Four college, Sanon logged 11.9 points per game. Against the Big 12 Conference's teams, he averaged 10.5 points.

Explodes for 28 Sanon totaled 28 points (11-20 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes during Saturday's 99-73 loss to Utah.
Impact Sanon put together a 28-point masterpiece, draining 4-of-5 from beyond the arc while topping 20 points for the third time this season. Despite the return of Alston Mason after a one-game absence, Sanon remained in the starting lineup for the second-consecutive game in favor of Adam Miller, who missed the game with a hip injury. With the regular season's final week ahead and Arizona State floundering near the bottom of the Big 12, Sanon has played all but three minutes during his two starts, putting together back-to-back performances of 18 and 28 points. It seems a strong likelihood that Sanon has earned his opportunity for big minutes and more big performances as the season draws to a conclusion.

Helps fill void for Sun Devils Sanon finished Wednesday's 91-81 loss to BYU with 18 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 40 minutes.
Impact Sanon earned the starting nod, playing all 40 minutes while tallying his highest point total since the start of conference play. The freshman guard replaced an ill Alston Mason in the starting lineup for the Sun Devils, who were also without Jayden Quaintance (knee) and BJ Freeman, who was dismissed from the team over the weekend. Sanon played well during the early part of the season but suffered an ankle injury after the calendar turned to 2025 and has mostly struggled since, with Wednesday's performance marking just the second time since mid-December that he's reached double figures in the scoring column. If Mason's illness lingers into the weekend, Sanon would continue to see a lot of action in a softer matchup at Utah.
