UNLV 7-foot freshman Stephen Zimmerman Jr. officially announced Monday on Twitter that he is declaring himself eligible for the NBA Draft.
“After careful deliberation, I have decided to enter the 2016 NBA draft and forego the remainder of my college eligibility,” he said in a statement on his Twitter page. “I want to thank Coach Rice, the entire UNLV coaching staff, Coach Miller, Coach Augmon, Coach Good and Coach Simon, Athletic Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy, my teammates, and everyone
at UNLV for their support this past season. It was a dream come true for to play in my home town for UNLV and I am no ready to pursue my dream of being an NBA player.
