While he has yet to make a final decision, Baylor All-American forward Johnathan Motley currently plans to hire an agent and keep his name in the NBA draft.

Motley declared for the draft earlier this month but did not hire an agent, preserving his college eligibility.

A source familiar with the discussions confirmed Motley's intentions Friday.

"It's not 100 percent," the source said, "but it's pretty close."

The 6-10 Motley is coming off a breakout season. He averaged 17.3 points and 9.9 rebounds for a Sweet 16 team and shot 52.1 percent from the field.
