Tres Tinkle has decided to test the waters of the NBA following his junior season, declaring for the NBA Draft today, according to a report on OregonLive.com. The move allows Tinkle to hire an agent and attend the NBA Combine before making a final decision on whether or not to return to school by May 29th.
It still seems likely that Tinkle will return to Oregon State for one more year. He has not been projected in most NBA mock drafts, Still, if he impresses in pre-draft activities, it’s possible he could attract some attention.
