Memorial graduate and college basketball sensation Kenneth Lofton Jr. made a decision about his future Monday.
Lofton announced on social media he is “100 percent staying into the draft.”
Lofton spent two seasons at Louisiana Tech before he announced his intentions to assess his draft stock and enter the transfer portal.
The Port Arthur native spent last week at the NBA G-League Elite camp before getting an invite to the NBA combine.
Lofton put on an impressive performance, filling up the stat sheet.
The NBA draft is June 23.
