Jabari Parker will meet with Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski next week to make a decision about whether or not to enter the NBA Draft.
“I’m going to make it by either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week,” Parker said on ESPN SportsNation.
“It’s a very tough decision, especially potentially leaving behind my coach and the program that really helped me out this year, so I really have to keep them in consideration in this whole process,” Parker added to ESPNLA 710 Radio.
“My parents, they come from different backgrounds. They don’t even value money. My situation isn’t the best, but they’re not complaining and I’ve been going on this long so why can’t I wait another year? That’s the mindset in my head that keeps me moving.”
Parker, the No. 3 overall prospect by DraftExpress, is expected to be a top-3 pick if he does decide to enter the Draft.
Underclassmen have until April 27 to decide their plans. The Draft is set for June 26 in New York.
