Cheick Diallo will declare for the 2016 NBA Draft, leaving Kansas after his freshman season.
Diallo has a chance to be selected in the first round, but the opportunity to be selected in his preseason-projected lottery slot would come from excelling in the NBA Draft Combine and team workouts.
Diallo will make a decision on an agent after the combine.
In 2015, he was named MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game and co-MVP of the Jordan Brand Classic with Arizona’s Allonzo Trier.
