Narcisse Ngoy, the No. 57 pick in this week’s NBA draft, said Thursday that he still plans to play college basketball at Auburn next season.
Ngoy was selected late in the second round by the Clippers, but his stated plan keeps him on track to join Auburn rather than immediately beginning his professional career.
The decision adds a notable NBA-drafted prospect to Auburn’s roster for the upcoming college season, while the Clippers retain the rights associated with their draft selection.
