LEXINGTON, Ky. – Bam Adebayo's college career is reportedly over.
The Kentucky freshman forward will sign with an agent and remain in the 2017 NBA draft, CBS Sports reported Monday.
Adebayo would be the fifth Kentucky player to end eligibility this offseason, joining De'Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, Isaiah Briscoe and Isaac Humphries. Freshman Hamidou Diallo has declared for the draft but has not signed an agent.
Adebayo is the projected No. 19 overall pick in the NBAdraft.net mock draft and the 31st selection according to DraftExpress.com. Those projections haven't been updated in recent days.
