We're seeing tweets that the Cajun's Elfrid Payton has finally announced that he will enter this years NBA draft. Best of luck from all the Cajun fans, and thank you for representing our university with class and excellent play.
Elfrid's comments:
“This has been a long and engaging process for both me and my family. First, I would like thank God for blessing me with the opportunity to make a decision like this. I would also like to thank my family, coaches and the people close to me that have helped me gather information during this process.
“With that said, I am excited to announce that I will forgo my final year of eligibility at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and will be entering the 2014 NBA Draft. I sincerely want to say ‘thank you’ to my coaches, my teammates, and most importantly the great Ragin’ Cajun fans that have supported me during the last three seasons. This has been a great three years where I’ve grown up, both on and off the court. I will be Cajun forever. Thank you for everything.”
