Pippen is not ranked among the top 100 draft prospects by ESPN, so he could end up returning to school. He would have two years of eligibility remaining if he does so, and has until July 19 to make a final decision on whether he will keep his name in the draft.
The sophomore guard had a breakout season for Vanderbilt last season. He averaged 20.8 points, 4.9 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, and led the team in all three categories.
