Kansas big man Flory Bidunga intends to declare for the NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Bidunga also reportedly plans on entering the transfer portal, adds Thamel.

The 6-foot-10 center made a huge leap during his sophomore year, averaging 13.3 points, nine boards, and 1.5 assists across 35 appearances this season.

Bidunga was fifth nationally in blocks (2.6 per contest) and 10th in field-goal percentage (64%). The 20-year-old was an All-Big 12 first-team selection and the conference's Defensive Player of the Year.

Bidunga was one of five finalists for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar award, which is annually given to the top center in college basketball.
