Lamonte Bearden's stay in Bowling Green was a brief one. Bearden told ESPN's Jeff Goodman earlier today that he intends to sign with an agent and stay in this summer's NBA Draft.
Bearden’s career started at the University of Buffalo in 2014. He played there for two seasons and made back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances, making the All-MAC Freshman team in 2014-15 while averaging 8 points and 4 assists per game. In a first round loss to Miami (FL), he scored 19 points and dished out three assists.
After the 2015-16 season, Bearden elected to transfer to WKU and joined the Hilltoppers for head coach Rick Stansbury’s first season on the Hill.
