Louisville basketball’s leading scorer is testing the NBA Draft waters. Carlik Jones, a graduate transfer who received all-conference honors in his first season with U of L, declared for the 2021 NBA Draft on Saturday “while still maintaining my eligibility as a Cardinal,” he said in a post to his Instagram account.
Radford guard Carlik Jones entered his name into the transfer portal on Wednesday, but that’s not the only move he made. The defending Big South player of the year also submitted his name to the NBA advisory committee. The committee allows players to earn feedback on their draft status without jeopardizing their future eligibility.
