Syracuse Orange forward Tyler Lydon declared for the NBA draft Wednesday on his Twitter page:
Lydon was a sophomore during the 2016-17 season and averaged 13.2 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.
While his field-goal percentage (47.9 to 47.3) and three-point percentage (40.5 to 39.5) slightly dipped, his per-game totals were an improvement from his freshman season when he posted 10.1 points and 6.3 boards a night.
Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman ranked Lydon No. 26 on his big board and provided a scouting report for the versatile forward:
"For the most part, Lydon looked similar to what he looked like last year—limited as a shot-creator, but dangerous as a shot-maker.
