Louisville Basketball: Deng Adel makes it official; will remain in 2018 NBA Draft

Louisville basketball’s Deng Adel is officially not returning to the Louisville basketball program for his senior season, according to Yahoo reporter Shams Charania.

Adel decided to test the NBA waters last season after his sophomore year, working out for several teams, before deciding to come back for his junior season to work on the input he received from scouts and GM’s.

The junior forward announced his intentions to declare for the 2018 NBA Draft after Louisville’s loss to Mississippi State in the NIT, but this year, Adel decided he didn’t need input from NBA personnel before making a decision.
