Kentucky guard Cason Wallace is taking his talents to the NBA, declaring for the draft while signing with an agent, forgoing the remainder of his college eligibility. The jump comes after a successful freshman campaign in Lexington where he averaged 11.7 points, 4.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 44.6% from the field, 34.6% from three and 75.7% at the line.

Projected as a likely lottery pick known for his versatility and two-way abilities, Wallace’s time as a Wildcat is officially (and unsurprisingly) over.
