If Kerem Kanter pulls out of the NBA draft he won't be going back to Green Bay.

The 6-foot-10 forward told Jeff Goodman of ESPN he has received his release and will pursue a graduate transfer if he doesn't turn pro.

"My priority is the NBA Draft," Kanter said. "If that doesn't work out this summer, I want to choose the best place to be able to get there next year."

Kanter, the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter, will be eligible immediately next season should he return to the college ranks.
