Kevin Durant is in no rush to make a decision on whether he will leave Austin for the NBA.
"The NBA can wait," Durant told ESPN.com. "I love college so much and if I decide to stay, that's going to show a lot of freshmen that they don't have to go to college just for one year.
"I love my family so much at Texas and I really don't want to leave them," Durant said. "[The NBA] is my dream but it's going to be a hard decision."

All the talk about whether he plans to leave Texas after one season for the NBA is becoming stressful for Kevin Durant, one of his close friends said today.
North Carolina freshman Ty Lawson said Durant sounded “stressed out” after talking to him this morning. The two players, who played against each other while attending high school in Maryland, talk several times a week.
“Kevin right now is just trying to be a kid. He’s 18 years old,” Lawson said after workouts for North Carolina’s NCAA regional semifinal against Southern California on Friday. “Everybody is calling his phone, leaving him text messages asking him if he’s going to the NBA or not. That’s a lot to put on him.
“He’s really not used to stuff like that. He’s kind of stressed out right now about stuff like that.”
