Florida guard Andrew Nembhard announced his intent to enter the 2019 NBA Draft, but may still entertain the possibility of returning for his sophomore season.

Nembhard will have the option to rescind his draft declaration by May 29 to return to Florida. Additionally, if he's invited to and participates in the NBA Draft Combine and still goes undrafted, he would also maintain his remaining NCAA eligibility because of new rules instituted in 2018.

Starting all 36 of his appearances for the Gators this season, the Aurora, Ontario native averaged eight points, 5.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per game, earning 2019 SEC All-Freshman team honors.
