Savion Flagg, Texas A&M's leading scorer, to explore options in NBA draft

Texas A&M's leading scorer from last season will test the NBA draft process.

Sophomore forward Savion Flagg will join the list of early candidates for this year's draft, according to a statement released on his Twitter account.

Flagg will not forfeit his NCAA eligibility unless he keeps his name in the draft after the 4 p.m. deadline on June 10, which comes nearly a month after the draft combine.

"Having the opportunity to continue working towards achieving my goal of becoming an elite NBA player is a blessing," Flagg wrote in his statement.

The 6-7 forward from Alvin was a bright spot for the Aggies last season.
