The deadline for underclassmen declaring for the NBA Draft is April 21. Speaking six days before it, South Carolina’s A.J. Lawson said he’s still thinking it over.
“I still haven’t made my decision yet,” Lawson said Monday during USC’s “Gamecock Gala” event for student-athletes at the Koger Center. “It’s going to be between my family, coaching staff, whatever is right.”
Lawson is coming off an All-SEC freshman season with the Gamecocks in which he averaged 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists a game. The 6-foot-6 guard isn’t popping up on any popular mock drafts for this June’s event, but is so for the 2020 draft.
