In a move that isn’t all that much of a surprise, junior forward Lamar Stevens announced his intention to enter the NBA, but said that he will not hire an agent in order to maintain eligibility for a return for his senior season.
Lamar Stevens announces he will declare for the NBA Draft, but he's going to maintain his full eligibility for next season.

Essentially, Stevens is just testing the waters, which coming off a 19.9/7.7/2.1 season makes total sense for a junior prospect. He’ll be able to go through the draft process, hear back from NBA scouts and management on where he’s at as a player and what his draft stock could be, and from there, he’ll be able to make a decision on whether to stay in the draft or return for his final year with the Nittany Lions.
