Penn State’s Lamar Stevens, a first-team All-Big Ten forward, announced Tuesday he was declaring for the NBA draft — but, due to a recent rule change, he can still change his mind immediately following the combine.
According to the NCAA, players can return to school if they request an Undergraduate Advisory Committee evaluation, take part in the NBA combine and inform their athletic director by May 29 that they’re remaining in school. Stevens has hired an agent, as allowed by the new rule announced last August, but also remains enrolled and is attending classes.
