Declares for draft but may return Felton has decided to test the NBA waters while maintaining eligibility at East Carolina, per his announcement Monday.

Impact Felton finished his 2023-24 season with averages of 17.3 points (on 43.1/35.5/77.8 shooting splits), 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 33 starts. Feeling at least somewhat confident about his professional prospects, he will prepare for the NBA Draft to make that possibility a reality. But as a precautionary measure, Felton will take advantage of a rule that allows him to withdraw if turning pro seems too risky over re-enrolling at East Carolina for another year. There is plenty of time before he must make his decision, which may come around summer.
