Chinanu Onuaku is doing what "every player in America" is doing and testing the NBA draft process without hiring an agent, Pitino said. The 6-foot-10 sophomore had a breakout season, averaging 9.9 points and 8.5 rebounds a game, and is currently projected as a mid-second-round pick.
"If he wants to come back, it can't just be to bide his time for another year," Pitino said, reiterating that Onuaku, who is 19, is young for his class. "He's got to want to be a top-five shot-blocking presence and work to be one of the premier big men in college basketball."
