Washington's Markelle Fultz makes it official, declares for NBA Draft

Washington Huskies freshman guard Markelle Fultz announced on Twitter that he will be leaving school and has declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA Draft.

What It Means:

Fultz is widely projected to be the top pick in the draft, despite a disappointing season for the Huskies. The freshman missed six of the last eight games with a knee injury but it is considered minor, and the Huskies likely sat out Fultz as a precaution due to his draft stock. Washington's season is over after they finished with a 9-22 record and 13 consecutive losses.

Fultz averaged 23.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game this season.
