Detroit — It wasn’t a surprise when Michigan’s Jordan Poole declared for the NBA Draft earlier this month.
With the draft rules allowing underclassmen to test the waters and keep the door open for a possible return to school, Poole was one of 233 players to file as an early entrant candidate and one of 175 from the college ranks.
But when Poole announced last week he was keeping his name in the draft and forgoing his final two years of eligibility, many questioned his decision.
