Former National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe has declared for the NBA Draft, but he will retain his college eligibility throughout the process.

Tshiebwe isn’t expected to be a first-round pick, and he could return to college, where name, image, and likeness deals have made it more lucrative for high-profile players to stay instead of going to the next level.

Tshiebwe’s game isn’t one that’s expected to have a flawless transition to the NBA. He’s relatively undersized for his position and might not have the offensive or defensive capability to thrive against quicker guards and bigger centers.
