Kobi Simmons leaving Arizona for the NBA

Arizona Wildcats freshman guard Kobi Simmons has declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA Draft and is expected to hire an agent, ending his college career, per Evan Daniels of Scouts.com.

What It Means:

While it was expected for Simmons to test the draft waters the decision to hire an agent is a strange one as he is ranked 67th in tDraft Express' top 100 prospects and is projected to be selected near the end of the second round. The freshman also did not play much down the stretch, averaging just 12.6 minutes per game over the final 13 contests.

Simmons averaged 8.7 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game this past season.
