Kansas top prospect Joel Embiid is strongly considering staying for his sophomore year at Kansas
Kansas top prospect Joel Embiid is strongly considering staying for his sophomore year at Kansas passing on the 2014 NBA Draft where he is projected as 1st overall pick.
Per ESPN, Kansas 7-footer Joel Embiid told ESPN that he is far from a lock to leave college after this season, and is "strongly considering" returning for his sophomore campaign.
The Cameroon native said prior to Tuesday's win at Baylor that he didn't feel as though he was ready to make the jump to the NBA, but added after the game that it will depend largely on his development over the remainder of the season.
"I'm not even thinking about it right now," Embiid said. "I'll make a decision after the season, but I'm definitely considering coming back to school."
"He's a bright young man and he's going to weigh his options," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "He's considering coming back and he's obviously also considering leaving. He can't make a bad decision."
