College Basketball News: Jabari Parker not sold on NBA, could return for sophomore season at Duke? [VIDEO]

The 2014 NBA Draft, on paper, looks to be of the biggest and most talented group of players to come along in many years, but some of it’s biggest and brightest aren’t sold yet. Duke’s Jabari Parker is one of those players who isn’t quite sure about his draft status.

Parker recently said that he isn't sure if he will declare for the 2014 draft and would love to work on his game in college. Parker spoke with the Associated Press about his status a Duke going forward.

"If I feel like there are things I could improve on or things I left, like during the season, then I will probably come back. Saying that I didn't give it my all and that I have regrets, that I have to come back because I owe this program so much. A deciding factor is where I'm going to grow the most, whether it's in the NBA or even in college, the learning experiences that I need as far as [growing as] a basketball player.”

Parker is considered by many to be one of the top prospects in college basketball and see him as a top five draft pick. Parker is a Wooden Award finalist and has carried the Blue Devils to a 23-7 (12-5 ACC) record and a possible number one seed. Luckily with Parker it is a matter of when and not if he turns pro. If he doesn’t declare this year he will be the favorite to be the top selection in the 2015 draft.
