Chris Silva on Tuesday announced plans to submit his name for the NBA draft. This marks the second consecutive year a South Carolina player has done this, leaving some to wonder if Silva will follow P.J. Dozier’s lead by hiring an agent and foregoing his senior season.
Dozier was a sophomore coming off USC’s run to the Final Four. The former Spring Valley star announced his intentions on April 12, 2017. He signed with an agent five days later. He went undrafted, but did appear in two games this past season with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
