The one-and-done era of college basketball can be cruel as it can decimate a team and leave players without a home after choosing to leave early (and not get drafted). Luckily, players are getting smarter. UCLA basketball freshman forward Kris Wilkes is a prime example of that.
Wilkes, and fellow freshmen Jaylen Hands, are both making a decision that would allow them a return to college if they do not get a favorable scouting report and it is not projected that they will get drafted.
UCLA's Kris Wilkes tells me he will declare for the 2018 NBA Draft, but won't hire an agent.
