Wisconsin's Davis says he's entering NBA draft, hiring agent

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Wisconsin's Johnny Davis is ready to turn pro after delivering a superb sophomore season.

Davis announced Thursday that he's entering the NBA draft and hiring an agent. The 6-foot-5 guard is regarded as a likely lottery selection and could be Wisconsin's first top-10 overall pick since the Charlotte Hornets took Frank Kaminsky ninth overall in 2015.

The only other Badgers to be selected in the top 10 of an NBA draft are Don Rehfeldt (second in 1950) and Devin Harris (fifth in 2004).

''I can't wait for what happens next,'' Davis said while making his announcement on ESPN's ''NBA Today.
