Louisville's Deng Adel and Donovan Mitchell exploring their draft standing

Louisville Cardinals sophomore forward Deng Adel and sophomore guard Donovan Mitchell are entering the 2017 NBA Draft but will not hire an agent, per Jeff Greer of the Courier Journal.

What It Means:

By not hiring an agent, both players leave the door open for a return to the Cardinals, if they don't like their draft stock. The deadline to withdraw is May 24. Mitchell is a top-25 prospect, according to Draft Express, and is projected to be a late-first round pick. Adel, on the other hand, is not ranked in most experts top-100 and is likely to go undrafted if he doesn't withdraw.

Mitchell averaged 15.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game this season, while Adel posted 12.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.
