According to ESPN’s Top 100 for the NBA draft, McClung is not ranked. The rising senior won’t have to make a final decision until around July as to whether he’ll return to school or go pro. If he decides against going pro, he’ll still have two years of college eligibility remaining since the unprecedented 2019-20 season didn’t count against players’ eligibility.
