Jalen Brunson Declares for NBA Draft

Villanova junior guard Jalen Brunson will forego his final season of college eligibility and enter the NBA draft.

Brunson made his intentions known in a letter published on ESPN.com addressed to "Nova Nation,"

"After careful consideration and prayer, I have decided to enter the June NBA draft and hire an agent," Brunson said.

"While I pride myself on remaining disciplined and focused to achieve these goals, I have grown as a man and have established lifelong relationships with my teammates, classmates, members of the basketball staff, fellow student-athletes and the wonderful educators and administrators of this prestigious university," Brunson said.
