Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler will declare for the NBA draft, his agency ProMondo Sports told ESPN.
Wagler, the No. 5 ranked prospect in ESPN's Top 100, burst onto the scene this season, leading the 28-9 Fighting Illini to the Final Four for the first time since 2005, earning consensus second-team All-American honors and playing his way into a projected lottery selection.
The 6-foot-6 Wagler averaged 17.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists to just 1.8 turnovers this season, shooting 44.5% from the field and 39.7% from 3 as the primary offensive catalyst for Illinois. Wagler's honors included the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award, First Team All-Big Ten and Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
