James Blackmon Jr. leaving Indiana for the NBA

Indiana Hoosiers junior guard James Blackmon Jr. will sign with an agent and stay in the 2017 NBA Draft, ending his college career, per Jon Rothstein of FanRag Sports.

What It Means:

Blackmon joins teammates Thomas Bryant and O.G. Anunoby as they prepare for the upcoming draft. Unlike the other two, though, Blackmon is projected to go undrafted but has decided against returning to school after the change in coaching staff at Indiana.

Blackmon averaged 17.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 3.0 three-pointers per game his junior season.
