On Tuesday, one Friar declared for the NBA Draft. On Wednesday, another one joins him.

Providence Friars sophomore forward Ben Bentil is declaring for the 2016 NBA Draft.

The news comes to us first from Scout.com's Evan Daniels, who on Wednesday afternoon broke the news that the Big East's Most Improved Player in 2016 would be heading for the NBA, but won't be signing with an agent.

Providence PF Ben Bentil will declare for the NBA Draft, but not sign with an agent, a source told Scout. Leaves option open to return.
