Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) – UCLA sophomore forward Tyler Honeycutt announced Monday that he will hire an agent and make himself eligible for the NBA draft.
“After speaking with my family and everyone close to me and all of my coaches here, I feel that it is in my best interest to enter the NBA Draft this year,” Honeycutt said. “We had a good year and I finished strong and with it being a so-called weak draft this year, I feel that it is best for me to leave.”
Honeycutt averaged 12.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 blocks.
“He did a great job for us the past two years and has worked very hard and has improved a lot,” UCLA head coach Ben Howland said. “He made a big jump from the end of his freshman year to now. I’m 100 percent supportive of his decision.”
Howland also announced that guard Larry Drew II has enrolled at the university after leaving North Carolina last month. He will sit out next season because of NCAA rules.
