Jevon Carter taking exploratory look at NBA draft

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — National defensive player of the year Jevon Carter has submitted his name for the 2017 NBA draft, a move that appears mostly exploratory considering the West Virginia junior guard will not hire an agent.

Last year, in a move that gave underclassmen more time to be evaluated by NBA teams, the NCAA delayed the deadline for entering and withdrawing from the draft. It also allowed players to enter the draft6 multiple times without forfeiting their eligibility.

This year’s early entry deadline was Sunday, and college players like Carter have until 10 days after the May 9-14 draft combine to withdraw and return to school.
