EJ Montgomery announced his decision to enter his name in the 2019 NBA Draft on Friday morning. His intention is to get feedback from NBA personnel and possibly forego his sophomore season if he receives a first-round evaluation.
Montgomery’s decision received high praise from his teammates and coaches.
“EJ improved so much during the year. He helped us win games and made a difference in so many other games. I think it is smart for him and his family to explore what his options truly are. I have no doubt in mind that EJ has a bright future,” said John Calipari.
