Kansas freshman center Joel Embiid announced Wednesday he will enter the NBA draft.
The 7-foot Cameroon native averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this past season, and was considered the front-runner to be taken No. 1 in the June draft until a back injury forced him to sit out the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.
Embiid had been mulling whether to return for his sophomore season for weeks. He said during a news conference Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse that he reached his decision Sunday.
"I just want to thank the coaching staff, my teammates, the fans, my mentor, everybody that has helped me through my journey," said Embiid, who was accompanied by coach Bill Self.
Multiple NBA executives believe Embiid still has a chance to go first overall, but it's dependent on the medical testing that comes back at the Chicago predraft camp and also when he visits teams.
It's likely that Embiid, teammate Andrew Wiggins and Duke freshman Jabari Parker -- if he chooses to leave -- will be the top three picks in the draft. Wiggins already has announced he will leave for the NBA after one season in Lawrence, while Parker has yet to make a formal decision.
Embiid was not considered a lottery pick entering the seas
