Baylor's Johnathan Motley testing the NBA Draft waters
Baylor Bears junior forward Johnathan Motley has declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA Draft but will not hire an agent, per Jeff Goodman of ESPN.
What It Means:
Motley just underwent surgery to repair a torn MCL, leaving him possibly unable to participate in the combine or individual workouts. He will, however, be able to interview with teams and take measurements to assess his draft stock accurately. Motley is currently projected to be taken early in the second round. He will have until May 24 to withdraw from the draft to maintain his college eligibility.
Motley averaged 17.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game in his junior season.
