LSU junior guard Skylar Mays has announced that he will forgo his senior season to enter the 2019 NBA Draft. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
BATON ROUGE – Three-year LSU basketball junior guard Skylar Mays announced on his Instagram account on Friday (IG: @sky.mays) that “I am now announcing my decision to declare for the NBA draft.”

Mays was a second-team All-SEC selection as part of an LSU team that went 28-6 overall with a 16-2 record in winning the SEC regular season championship and advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. He was named to the Google Cloud CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-America team with a 4.01 GPA in pre-med/kinesiology.

Mays, from Baton Rouge, had his best of his three years at LSU this year with the Tigers, averaging 13.4 points a game with 3.3 rebounds 2.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game (second in the conference in steals average).

lsuohiofan•74 months

Without WW why stay?

So funny how others say these fine young Tigers are making a bad decision. They gave their all for LSU. The NBA isn't the only basketball league where one with skills can make a living. Let's thank them for all they've done for LSU and wish them luck in their professional endeavors.

arcalades•74 months

Giving their all for LSU shouldn't mean the rest of us have to wear purple goggles. A bad decision is a bad decision regardless.

Brotorious•74 months

To arcalades- You’re right, but they can’t change the fact that they made a bad decision to live in Baton Rouge. Now they made the right decision to leave!

LesnarF5•74 months

Because of his strong academics, I thought Skylar would've stayed.

LesnarF5•74 months

It really doesn't matter who stays or goes we need to keep Wade going forward. I can take a bit of a down year as long as you have a great coach and recruiter you'll be back on top again soon.

LesnarF5•74 months

Hey, Joe Dirt get the fricking meeting going arse!!!

brass2mouth•74 months

Every one is leaving before the NCAA hammer drops.
