Drafted But Staying at Auburn
Description
Narcisse Ngoy, a 7-foot French center and Auburn commit, stunned the NBA world by being drafted 57th by the LA Clippers — yet he’s staying for his senior season. This rare “draft-and-stash” move echoes Larry Bird’s 1978 college draft story, and Ngoy, surprised by the selection, sees college as the smart path forward. With MVP-level stats in France and NIL opportunities, he’s gaining experience, development, and NBA rights — all while Auburn gets a pro-caliber player. The NBA’s waiting, but for now, the Tigers are the stage.
