Gonzaga Bulldogs sophomore winger Julian Strawther has declared for the 2022 NBA Draft, he announced on social media today.
Strawther has not announced whether or not he has hired an agent or is maintaining his eligibility.
After spending a year waiting behind Corey Kispert, Strawther demonstrated his scoring potential immediately with more minutes in his sophomore season. He averaged 11.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. He demonstrated a consistent three-point shot, hitting 36.5 percent on the year, and his length allowed him to be constantly active and disruptive on rebounding efforts.
Thanks to his size and his length, Strawther has generated some NBA Draft chatter throughout the year, with some scouts thinking he could potentially be a late-first round pick.
