Malik Abu Update

NC State’s Malik Abu has been testing the waters of the NBA and was recently in his hometown of Boston working out for the Celtics. In an article posted by Sherrod Blakely of CSN New England Abu spoke to him about his experiences.

“It could go either way,” Abu said of his decision. “I feel I’m really close to my dream. Who’s to say I wouldn’t be able to do the same thing next year? But it’s a win-win for me; I can’t lose. I have a great situation going back to N.C. State. If I can chase my dream and play in the NBA, I wouldn’t have any complaints either.” CSNNE

Included in the workout with the Celtics was Trevo Bluiett of Xavier, Nigel Hayes of Wisconsin, and Malik Pope of San Diego State. All of these guys are contemplating their future in regards to keeping their name in the draft or going back to their respective universities. May 25th is D-Day and it seems that Abu will take full advantage of this deadline to make his choice. If he returns he could be a part of a special team that has plenty of versatility and talent. With Abu State could be one of the most exciting teams in the country, and he would have plenty of help in the low post with Omer Yurtseven in tow. The ball is in his court, but contrary to Jeff Goodman’s tweet, it seems it is NBA or State…
