STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut’s Kemba Walker has announced he will enter the NBA draft.
The 6-foot-1 All-American guard led the Huskies to a 32-9 record, including an 11-0 postseason run that ended with a national championship. Walker is expected to be a first-round pick, and perhaps the second guard chosen behind Duke’s Kyrie Irving.
Walker averaged 23.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists during his junior season, and scored a school record 965 points.
Walker on Tuesday thanked coach Jim Calhoun “for turning me into a man.”
Walker has not yet hired an agent.
