Max Abmas had been projected as a second-round pick in the July 29 draft. Now, he is on course for his junior season at Oral Roberts.
About 3½ hours before the Wednesday night deadline for players to withdraw from NBA draft consideration and sustain their college eligibility, Oral Roberts coach Paul Mills provided a three-word update on Golden Eagle point guard Max Abmas: âMax is back.â
Last season, Abmas led the nation in scoring with a 24.5-point average and was a force during the 15th-seeded Golden Eaglesâ drive to the Summit League Tournament title and NCAA Tournament victories over Ohio State and Florida.
