Utah's Kyle Kuzma entering 2017 NBA Draft

Utah Utes junior forward Kyle Kuzma declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA Draft but will not hire an agent, according to Kyle Goon of the Salt Lake Tribune.

What It Means:

By not hiring an agent, Kuzma can return for his senior season with the Utes if he doesn't like his projected draft stock. Currently, he is ranked as the 73rd overall prospect by Draft Express and is taken with a late-second round pick -- 51st overall -- in their mock draft. Kuzma has until June 12 to withdraw his name for consideration in the draft and retain his eligibility.

Kuzma averaged 16.4 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 50.4 percent from the field.
