Freshman forward Chris McCullough will enter the 2015 NBA Draft, it was announced Thursday. Multiple outlets reported it, Shams Charania of Real GM being the first, and McCullough himself confirmed it with a message he tweeted out Thursday evening.

On March 4, he informed The Post-Standard of his intentions to return to Syracuse. On March 30, The P-S reported that the freshman was considering entering his name into the draft. Now, the Orange will lose its third player in the last two years to the draft, after Tyler Ennis and Jerami Grant declared early last season.

McCullough tore his right ACL in Syracuse’s win over Florida State on Jan. 11 and averaged 9.3 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in the 16 games he played before the injury.

SU will bring in two big men in rising freshmen Moustapha Diagne and Tyler Lydon, and will also return Chinonso Obokoh, Tyler Roberson and DaJuan Coleman.
