One of the best careers in Purdue basketball history has come to a close.

[Best Bracket Millionaire: Who’s going to win it all?]

Boilermakers star Carsen Edwards announced Sunday that he intends to enter the 2019 NBA draft with an agent, leaving behind any chance of a return for his senior year.

Edwards also declared for the draft after last season, but never hired an agent and soon returned to improve his stock, which he almost definitely did.

The junior averaged 24.6 points per game as a junior to lead the Big Ten conference in scoring. He personally powered Purdue’s run to the Elite Eight in this year’s NCAA tournament, where the Boilermakers lost a classic against Virginia despite 42 points from Edwards.

Edwards also posted 26 points in the first round against Old Dominion, 42 points in the second round against Villanova and 29 points against Tennessee in the Sweet 16.

That’s about as high of a personal note as Edwards could probably leave on.

Where will Carsen Edwards be picked in the 2019 NBA draft?

While Edwards was certainly one of the top college players in the country, he could face questions as a pro prospect.

Yahoo Sports’ most recent mock draft has Edwards going on the 15th pick of the second round, 45th overall. He’s a gifted scorer, but undersized as a point guard prospect at 6-foot-1 and could be a liability on defense at the pro level. Despite those shortcomings, it’s hard to argue that Edwards is making the wrong decision choosing to come out after this season.
