Jeffrey Carroll Will Test NBA Waters, Won’t Hire Agent

Oklahoma State’s Jeffrey Carroll will declare for the 2017 NBA Draft but will not hire an NBA agent — leaving him the option to withdraw should he not get the evaluation he likes.

This does not mean Clip can’t return to Stillwater for his senior year—it simply means he’ll be seeking the advice of NBA talent evaluators that will give him a projection of where he may land in the draft, before making a decision.

Here’s the timeline for how this will play out for Carroll-

• April 23: NBA Early Entry Eligibility Deadline (11:59 p.m. ET)
• May 9-14: NBA Draft Combine 2017 (Chicago)
• May 16: NBA Draft Lottery 2017
• June 12: NBA Draft Early Entry Entrant Withdrawal Deadline (5:00 p.m. ET)

Clip has until June 12th to withdraw his name from the draft, so it may be a few months before we know whether or not he’ll be back. Carroll finished on 2nd-Team All Big-12 in 2016-2017, averaging 17.5 points per game and 6.6 rebounds a game on 53.7% shooting.
