Luke Maye poised to lead UNC basketball next season after withdrawing from NBA Draft

Posted Jun 12, 2018
Luke Maye decided to remain in school for his senior season to develop his game further with his future NBA goal in mind — a move that will be positive for his future draft stock and for UNC’s season. “I want to play in the NBA,” Maye said. “That’s my dream.” For now, though, he’ll bolster a Tar Heel roster that needs new leaders now that Joel Berry and Theo Pinson are gone.
