  • Following a freshman season in which he emerged as one of the nation’s top multi-dimensional players, Duke forward Jayson Tatum will enter the 2017 NBA Draft.

    The 6-foot-8 Tatum is currently projected as the No. 4 pick by DraftExpress.com behind Washington’s Markelle Fultz, UCLA’s Lonzo Ball and Kansas’ Josh Jackson.

    Tatum is the 10th Duke freshman to declare for the NBA Draft, joining Corey Maggette (1999), Luol Deng (2004), Kyrie Irving (2011), Austin Rivers (2012), Jabari Parker (2014), Tyus Jones (2015), Jahlil Okafor (2015), Justise Winslow (2015) and Brandon Ingram (2016).

    Each of the previous nine Duke freshman in the draft was a first-round selection, including eight lottery picks.
