Johnathan Motley—-perhaps the greatest Baylor basketball player ever—-plans to sign with an agent and remain in the NBA Draft. That news was first reported by Ashley Hodge of SicEm365.

Motley capped off his junior season by winning the Karl Malone Award, which is given to the best power forward in college basketball .He also earned All-Big 12 honors and finished 3rd in the KenPom Player of the Year race.

Johnathan Motley came to Baylor as a 3-star recruit. Somewhat overshadowed by A.A.U. teammates Andrew and Aaron Harrison, Motley was not ranked in the top 50 by any of the major recruiting services.
