While Arizona forward Carter Bryant did not announce his intentions before the NBA’s early entry deadline Saturday night, he is still expected test the draft.

“He’s gonna test the NBA Draft, and he’s going to make the best decision for himself,” Lloyd said.

Lloyd said he also expected UA point guard Jaden Bradley would test the draft. UA acknowledged Bradley’s revenue-share signing but did not formally announce one for Bryant, who is much likelier to leave UA as a projected first round pick.

The NBA will release its official early entry list this week.
