Wake Forest's John Collins will test the NBA Draft waters

Wake Forest Demon Deacons sophomore forward John Collins will enter the 2017 NBA Draft but will not hire an agent, according to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.

What It Means:

Collins was the ACC's Most Improved Player and finished second to North Carolina's Josh Jackson for the conference's Player of the Year. The big man is Draft Express' 15th -best prospect and a potential lottery pick in the upcoming draft. By not hiring an agent, though, Collins could withdraw his name from consideration and return to Wake Forest, as long as he does it by May 24.

Collins averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game while leading the nation in player efficiency rating with a 35.9 mark.
