LSU freshman guard Tremont Waters enters name for NBA Draft

LSU has more than one underclassman entering their name in the NBA Draft process.

While junior guard Brandon Sampson announced he would forgo his senior season and get an agent, there was a surprise entry when the NBA released the list of players who declared on Tuesday afternoon.

LSU freshman guard Tremont Waters has entered his name but has not signed with an agent. Waters has until May 30 to withdraw his name and retain his NCAA eligibility.

According to multiple sources, Waters had been contemplating his decision for weeks. An NBA source expects Waters to return to school and compared him to former UConn guard Shabazz Napier who stayed with the Huskies for four seasons before becoming a first-round draft pick in 2014.
