Wisconsin guard Johnny Davis declared for the 2022 NBA draft Thursday after the Badgers' second-round exit from the NCAA tournament.
"After taking some time off and discussing everything with my family and coaches, I have decided to pursue a lifelong dream by declaring for the NBA draft with the intent of hiring an agent," Davis told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.
Davis averaged 19.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in a breakout sophomore season, winning Big Ten Player of the Year and earning consensus All-American status.
Breaking the mold of a typical Wisconsin guard, Davis was given freedom to regularly attack with pace and create for himself off the dribble outside of the team's offensive ecosystem.
