LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Russ Smith is staying at Louisville to chase
another NCAA championship and a degree.
The 6-foot-1 guard is passing on the NBA draft to return for his
senior season, aiming to become his family's first college graduate
and win another title.
Smith's decision contradicts father Russ Sr.'s declaration after the
Cardinals' NCAA championship game victory over Michigan that his son
would enter the draft.
Smith led Louisville (35-5) with 18.7 points per game this season,
including 22.3 in the NCAA tournament.
After talking with coach Rick Pitino about his pro prospects, Smith
decided Wednesday morning that his game needed more development. He
was an all-Big East Conference first team selection along with 6-10
teammate Gorgui Dieng, who has entered his name in the draft pool.
