Motley to go pro, without an agent

By Nathan Keil | Sports Writer

Baylor junior forward Johnathan Motley is going to test the NBA waters.

The Houston native announced Monday he is declaring for June’s NBA draft. However, Motley will forgo hiring an agent, making him eligible to return if he pulls out by the May 24 deadline.

Motley helped lead the Bears to their first ever No. 1 ranking, as well as a spot in the Sweet Sixteen after being eliminated in the Round of 64 in 2015 and 2016.

Motley led the team in scoring at 17.3 points per game as well as rebounding with 9.
