I’m going to do whatever I possibly can to put myself in a situation to be drafted this year.

When Jay Scrubb arrived on the University of Louisville campus for his official visit Sept. 27, he was already sold on playing basketball for the Cardinals. The nation’s top junior college prospect was completely won over after attending Louisville Live and playing pickup with the Cards, and on Sept. 28 committed to Louisville’s 2020 signing class. But Scrubb “absolutely” still intends to test the 2020 NBA draft waters this spring, his father told the Courier Journal.
According to Jason Scrubb, about 15 NBA teams have contacted John A. Logan coach Kyle Smithpeters to ask about Jay. Representatives from the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons visited the campus in Carterville, Illinois, last week; the Atlanta Hawks will be there this week.
