Memphis sophomore center Lorenzen Wright is entering the NBA draft . . . with a condition.
Wright, a 6-foot-11, 230-pounder who averaged 17.4 points and 10.4 rebounds this season, said Saturday he will leave open his option to return to Memphis if he is unsatisfied with his position in the draft.
“Playing in the NBA has been a lifelong dream,” said Wright, a third-team All-American. “I believe now is the time for me to accept the challenge of playing with the best basketball players in the nation.”
Under NCAA rules, a player unhappy with his position in the draft can return to school if he has not contracted with an agent or accepted payment for professional tryouts.
