Another college basketball star is entering his name into the NBA Draft, and like many that came before him this cycle, he will not sign with an agent, leaving him eligible to return to college basketball. Auburn guard Bryce Brown announced his plans to enter the 2018 NBA Draft, although he made it clear he will wait to sign with an agent.
Brown led Auburn to a No. 4 seed in this year's NCAA Tournament. On Wednesday morning Auburn announced that the junior guard will enter the draft, but not sign with an agent. He'll be eligible to return for his senior season, if he drops out of the draft process.
Brown spoke about the decision.
"I want to thank God for everything he has done for me and the way he has led me. I had a dream to play in the NBA one day and I want to pursue that dream. Testing the waters will be a great opportunity for me and my family to see where I’m at in the process.
I want to thank my teammates and my coaches for putting me in great situations to succeed and show what I can do on the court. I want to thank the fans and the Auburn family as well. Together, we created something special this past season with the best home-court advantage in the country."
Brown was second on the team in scoring, with 15.9 points per game and led the team in three-point scoring for the 2017-18 season.
He joins Mustapha Herron, Jared Harper, and Austin Wiley as members of the Tigers who have entered their names for the NBA Draft. Herron is the only one to sign with an agent.
