NC State men’s basketball junior guard Markell Johnson will submit his name for consideration in the 2019 NBA Draft. He will go through the evaluation process while retaining his NCAA eligibility for a potential return to NC State.
“I fully support Markell going through this evaluation process and gathering additional information,” said NC State head coach Kevin Keatts. “Given the rules and options available to him, Markell is taking advantage of resources to ultimately make the most informed decision.”
Johnson finished second on NC State in scoring in 2018-19, averaging 12.6 points per game while also leading the Wolfpack with 4.
