Doug McDermott went back and forth almost daily over the last couple of weeks. There was a time when the Creighton star was certain he'd be telling his father/coach, Greg, that he'd be leaving for the NBA. But that all changed over the last few days -- and now McDermott, as announced on his Twitter feed on Thursday, has decided to return to school. "I planned on making a decision two weeks ago," McDermott said in an exclusive interview with CBSSports.com on Wednesday night. "But something wasn't right." CBSSports.com

“I go back and forth all the time,” Doug McDermott said after a workout. “One day, there’s no way I’m leaving this place. The next day, it changes. “I’m a guy that has a tough time making decisions. Right now, I don’t even feel like I’m close to making a decision.” McDermott has until midnight Sunday to decide whether to declare for the June NBA draft. Creighton fans have been speculating since the end of the season about McDermott’s status for next season. Omaha World-Herald

“I just have to trust myself to make the right decision. I’ve been thinking about it a lot, praying a lot and talking to the right people to try to make this easier.” One of those people is former Creighton star Kyle Korver, now in his 10th season in the NBA. McDermott has had several conversations with Korver, including one Monday night. “I’m trying to bounce some ideas off of him,” McDermott said. “It helps having someone like that to talk to.” McDermott said Korver has avoided trying to steer him one way or the other.

On whether McDermott can play in the NBA despite not having a defined position: “Basketball is basketball. What position you are and all of that, I think it just works itself out. He is a guy who can play the game, and if you can play the game, I think you will find your spot. I don’t think he’d have any problems playing on this level. When you see how he shoots, he is really efficient and he can make shots from all over the floor. He can play at a high level.” Sporting News
