Duke guard Cassius Stanley announced Tuesday he's decided to forgo his final three seasons of eligibility with the Blue Devils to enter the 2020 NBA draft.

Expectations were high as Stanley arrived at Duke as a 4-star prospect and the No. 37 overall player in the 2019 college basketball recruiting class, according to 247Sports' composite rankings.

The 20-year-old Los Angeles native flashed plenty of potential en route to averaging 12.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 47.4 percent from the field across 29 games before the remainder of the 2019-20 season was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
