Louisville basketball's Deng Adel to hire an agent, keep his name in NBA draft

Posted Apr 16, 2018
Deng Adel will skip his senior year of college, hire an agent and keep his name in the NBA draft pool. The 6-foot-7 junior wing led Louisville in scoring this past season, averaging 15 points per game for the Cardinals, but his departure comes as no surprise to the program. The 21-year-old called it his "lifelong dream" to be a professional basketball player. (Louisville Courier-Journal)
