According to Georgia Tech's official website, Iman Shumpert will keep his name in the NBA draft and forego his final season at Georgia Tech.
"I've decided to forego my senior year at Georgia Tech, keep my name in the NBA draft for this year and hire an agent," said Shumpert. "I appreciate everything that Georgia Tech has done for me over my time here. I've tried to take advantage of everything we have available, from our academic support system to our coaching staff and strength and conditioning, to help make me a better person and player. I want to thank the Georgia Tech fans for their support of our program even though we haven't always met their expectations. "I also want to extend my support to Coach Gregory and the new staff here going forward. I know the program is in good hands, and I look forward to following their progress. I'll always remember everything that Georgia Tech has done for me." Here is more from Brian Gregory who would have been Shumpert's new coach this season... "Iman has been great during this entire process," said head coach Brian Gregory. "He has participated in our team's spring workouts and has continued to do well in his classes while also gathering the important information needed to make this decision. He's had a tremendous career here, and I support the decision he and his family have made. "After working with him the last month or so, I'm confident that his workouts will be very good and he has a successful NBA career in front of him. Iman and I have already begun discussions on completing his degree here. It is important to him and to his family that he is a graduate of Georgia Tech."
