Louisville forward Jordan Nwora has officially declared for the NBA Draft, per an announcement made by him on his official Instagram page.
Nwora is coming off a breakout 2018 season where he led Louisville in scoring, averaging 17 points per game on 44.6% shooting (37.4% on three-point attempts). Nwora also averaged 7.6 rebounds per game and finished with a 20.7 PER. His performance in 2018 earned him a spot on the All-ACC Third Team roster, as well as the Most Improved Player award from the conference.
His current projected stock in the NBA Draft is somewhere around the late first to early second round range, with NBAdraft.net having Nwora at #24 overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
While Nwora has declared for the NBA Draft, he has yet to sign with an agent. However, under the new early entrant rules, all players who declare for the NBA Draft can now sign with an agent and have an evaluation by the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee, then return to school if they so desire. In the event that Nwora goes forward with the NBA Draft and somehow is not selected, he can still return for his junior season, as long as the university is notified by the following Monday after the draft.
