Andrew Nembhard Declares For NBA Draft, Signs With NCAA-Certified Agent

Andrew Nembhard made a big announcement on Sunday declaring for the NBA Draft while signing with an NCAA-approved agent—maintaining the possibility for a return to college for his junior season.

There are a few important notes about the decision to be aware of, starting with him declaring for the draft for the second year in a row. Up until 2018, this would have meant that he would be unable to return as a player was only allowed to declare and then withdraw his name once. Now, the rule is that the player is able to declare and withdraw to return to college as much as he wants as an underclassmen but not as an upperclassman, meaning that if he were to return to Florida for his junior year and then declare next spring he’d have to go pro.
