Gonzaga junior Kelly Olynyk has elected to forgo his remaining year of NCAA eligibility and enter the NBA draft, reports Jim Meehan of the Spokesman-Review. ESPN.com's Chad Ford previously reported that Olynyk was expected to go pro this year.
Olynyk, who is celebrating his 22nd birthday today, had a breakout season for Gonzaga, helping lead the team to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, though the team was upset by Wichita State fairly early. In just 26.4 minutes per game this year, the seven-footer averaged 17.8 PPG and 7.3 RPG.
Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com has Olynyk ranked as a potential lottery pick, placing him 13th on his big board. Olynyk is ranked 16th among 2013 prospects at ESPN.com by Ford.
