Cincinnati junior Jacob Evans will declare for the 2018 NBA draft.
"I decided to enter the NBA draft after weighing my options with my family and coaches," Evans told ESPN. "I feel it's the best move for me. An opportunity like this doesn't come around for many people and I believe in my abilities and support team to go chase this dream of mine."
Evans will not hire an agent at this time, preserving the option to return to school for his senior year, pending the feedback he receives from NBA teams.
"I didn't sign an agent yet, but I'm entering my name with plans on getting picked in the first round.
