In a bit of a surprise, the Duke Basketball program announced on Monday morning that rising seniors Marques Bolden and Javin DeLaurier will be entered the NBA Draft with the potential to return to school for their senior years.
The deadline for the paper work to be submitted to enter the NBA Draft was 11:59pm ET on Monday, April 21, but the team didn’t announce the big men’s decision until about 11:45am ET on April 22.
The official Duke Men’s Basketball Twitter Account said, “The rising seniors will gather feedback from NBA personnel over the coming weeks, but will maintain their collegiate eligibility, leaving open the possibility of returning to Duke.
