Junior forward is not hiring an agent
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin forward Nigel Hayes is submitting his name for the NBA draft but will not sign with an agent.
Wisconsin’s leading scorer confirmed his decision Wednesday through a team spokesman.
New rules allow players to enter their names in the draft by April 24 and withdraw by May 25 to return to school as long as they have not signed with an agent.
The draft is June 25.
The 6-foot-9 Hayes averaged 15.7 points and 5.9 rebounds his junior season.
He was a key contributor in Wisconsin’s runs to the Final Four in his first two seasons, but Hayes ended last season in a shooting slump during the NCAA Tournament.
