Duke Blue Devils’ forward Jabari Parker is one of the elite prospects in the 2014 NBA Draft.

The only problem is Parker has not decided whether or not he will enter the daft and he is currently trying to make that decision, setting Wednesday as the day he will announce his decision.

According to Yahoo Sports, Parker is looking for the place he can “grow the most.”

"According to The Associated Press, Parker said he will look for the place “where he can grow the most.”“I don’t know where that is right now,” Parker said. “I’ll talk to coach about it and lay out my options, but I’m just really glad I get the best of both worlds.”The deadline for underclassmen to announce their intentions is April 27. This year’s draft is set for June 26 in New York.Parker said in the interview last week that he does not see staying in college for another season as a gamble.“I think there’s no risk,” Parker said. “I think the community at Duke has really done a good job of taking care of my safety and they make sure that everything is done by the playbook."

Parker, who averaged 19.1 points and 8.7 rebounds per game this season, is ranked as the third-best prospect in the class according to Draft Express.
