Reports: Kentucky’s Bam Adebayo to sign with an agent

Kentucky’s Bam Adebayo will sign with an agent and remain in the NBA Draft, according to multiple reports.

Adebayo officially declared for the draft the day after the national title game, but he initially did not sign with an agent. “I feel like I’m making the right step in declaring for the draft,” he said at the time, “but I want to be absolutely sure that I’m making the right decision for me and my mom.”

A 6-foot-10 big man that averaged 13.0 points, 8.0 boards and 1.5 blocks, Adebayo is a borderline first round pick. He’s a freak athlete but he’s a little undersized for a five and doesn’t have the perimeter ability to play a stretch role.

Adebayo is one of six players that has declared for the draft from Kentucky: De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, Hamidou Diallo, Isaiah Briscoe and Isaac Humphries are the other five.
