"There's no doubt that I could be a pro, but right now I think it's best for me to stay in school and delay taking part in the draft until next year," Cummard said in a BYU news release. "I felt good about the feedback I received from my workouts. The process was very positive for me, and I look forward to being part of next year's NBA draft after finishing out my college career at BYU."

Cummard, who has been enrolled at BYU for spring term, had until this afternoon to make his decision. He is eligible to return to BYU because he did not sign with an agent

The junior guard was the Mountain West Conference co-player of the year last year after averaging 15.8 points and 3.5 assists per game. He was not selected to play in the Orlando predraft camp last month but had workouts with nearly a dozen teams.

"Lee got great feedback from the teams that watched him play, but he took his name out because he is also really excited to come back and help us try to win another [conference] championship," Rose said.

"He had a terrific junior year, and I expect he will have a great senior season and be in good position for next year's NBA Draft."
