Australian guard Ben Henshall is reportedly withdrawing from the 2025 NBA draft and weighing his options for next season, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
Henshall averaged 9.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals on 33.3% shooting from 3-point range in 35 games last season with the Perth Wildcats in the NBL. He scored in double figures 20 times, including a season-high 28 points and six assists on Nov. 1.
The 6-foot-6 standout competed in the combine last month, averaging eight points and three rebounds in two scrimmages in Chicago, Illinois. He also completed predraft workouts with the Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings.
Henshall registered the fastest lane agility time at the combine (10.49 seconds) and was tied for the fifth-fastest in the three-quarter sprint (3.07 seconds). He also shot 48.1% combined (26 of 54) in the 3-point star and corner shooting drills.
The 20-year-old was considered a possible second-round pick or undrafted free agent in the draft this year. He is highly touted as a scorer who can finish at all three levels and for his ability to affect games on the defensive end of the court.
Henshall is now expected to weigh his options, either at the international level or in the NCAA. He should be a player to watch as a possible draft pick in the 2026 NBA draft.
