Former Duke player and NCAA Tourney standout makes decision on basketball future

Hopefully it's the right decision.

He averaged 18.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists a game while playing 34.1 minutes a game. Those stats were good enough to earn the 6'8", 230-pound forward the AAC Player of the Year Award. And now he is going to parlay that into playing at the next level:

This means he will not be able to go back to school for his senior year and will be hoping to get drafted by a team now.
