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).

Do something LSU Admins!!!!! You’ve already screwed us enough!

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

voodooidotwo•74 months

As much as I like Mays he is not a NBA player as of now. Come back and develop.

Bige11•74 months

With what coach?

Yikes, Mass Exodus. If he doesn't hire an agent he could be back.

Merci Joe.

Every one is leaving before the NCAA hammer drops.

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.

Well damn IMO opinion biggest loss yet. Could have built a quality team around his leadership. Hope we enjoyed that Sweet 16..

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

Bige11•74 months

This is 100% on Joe If WW was working, Mays would likely have stayed and we might be playing today. How can any of you expect a kid to stay under the current circumstances?

blueboy•74 months

I'll miss you, Drunken Master.

lsuohiofan•74 months

Without WW why stay?
