Italian center Luigi Suigo has withdrawn from the 2026 NBA Draft and committed to Villanova, according to multiple media reports.

Suigo, 19, averaged 8.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 18.1 minutes per game last season for Mega Superbet in the AdmiralBet ABA League. He is listed at 7'3" with a 7'5.5" wingspan.

The prospect, from Tradate, Varese, Italy, was viewed as a potential late first-round pick by media outlets. ESPN ranked him 32nd overall on their big board.

Suigo had offers from Villanova, Illinois, Purdue and Indiana. He will now join a Wildcats' squad that is fresh off a NCAA Tournament appearance. They went 24-9 in Kevin Willard's first season as head coach.
