There is drama surrounding South Carolina basketball player AJ Lawson’s future in Columbia.
Late Monday night, basketball insider Jon Rothstein reported that rising junior AJ Lawson had made a decision to remove his name from NBA draft consideration and return to the University of South Carolina.
There have, however, been some recent reports that contradict Rothstein’s announcement, saying that the guard’s status has yet to change. Lawson has until August 3rd or 10 days after the NBA draft to make a final decision.
