UCLA Basketball: Kris Wilkes has declared for the NBA Draft
UCLA basketball sophomore Kris Wilkes has officially hired an agent and has declared for the NBA Draft, foregoing his final two seasons of eligibility with the Bruins.
Less than a week after the UCLA basketball team ended their season with a quarterfinal loss to Arizona State in the Pac-12 Tournament, the Bruins have already lost one member of the 2018-19 squad as sophomore forward Kris Wilkes is entering the NBA Draft.
Wilkes made his announcement on Tuesday afternoon after hiring an agent which makes him ineligible to return to UCLA. Wilkes has tested the waters of the NBA Draft a year ago but decided to return to Westwood after getting feedback in the combine.
