Zimmerman to leave UNLV, turn pro

UNLV 7-foot freshman Stephen Zimmerman Jr. plans to hire an agent and turn pro this week, according to a Yahoo! Sports report.

This has been expected since Zimmerman committed to the Rebels out of Bishop Gorman High School.

He averaged 10.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.

Zimmerman didn’t immediately return a text message asking for comment.

Max Good, UNLV special assistant to the head coach, tweeted: “So pleased for Big Zimm. Not entitled and easy to deal with. Highly skilled and unselfish. With added strength and maturity, watch out!!”

This is a developing story.
