Louisville basketball head coach Chris Mack had to wait until the waning moments before rising junior forward Jordan Nwora opted to stay in school over entering the 2019 NBA Draft.
Twelve months later, Mack may have to do the same.
The 21-year-old from Buffalo, New York became one of the more prolific forwards in the country under Mack in 2019-20, averaging 18 points and 7.7 rebounds per game and becoming a first-team All-ACC player and a third-team All-American.
Nwora stayed in school one more year to improve his draft stock and hopefully catapult himself into an NBA lottery pick in the summer of 2020.
