Maurice Harkless is weighing whether to enter the NBA draft after his freshman season at St. John’s.

“I just have to sit down and think about it and I’ll talk with my coaches and everything,” Harkless said after he put up 25 points and 9 rebounds in St. John’s final game of the season, a 73-59 loss to Pittsburgh in the Big East Tournament. “And I don’t know yet.”

Steve Lavin plans to be involved in the big decision ahead for Harkless.

“I think the first is to find out, is pursuing the NBA after his freshman year a priority because it may not be,” Lavin said of Harkless. “We may be presuming that that’s on his mind and something he wants to do.

“And we won’t know until we really sit down because I haven’t pushed him on that one way or the other to try to get answer out of him. I just wanted him to focus on school and basketball and finishing the season as best as he can.”
