SPOKANE, Washington (Ticker) -- Gonzaga guard Jeremy Pargo on
Tuesday declared for the the upcoming NBA Draft but will not
hire an agent - keeping the door open for a possible return for
his senior season.
Pargo was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year
this past season after averaging 12.1 points and 6.0 assists as
a junior.
Pargo can undeclare up to 10 days prior to the draft and still
retain his collegiate eligibility. This year's draft is slated
for June 26.
"This is a great opportunity for me to play against future NBA
players in front of NBA executives," Pargo said. "Going through
the early entry process will be a great learning experience. I
am looking forward to Orlando and the pre-draft workouts, and
then I will make the decision whether to return to Gonzaga and
earn my degree or stay in the draft."
"Jeremy has given his all to this program, and our coaching
staff, players and basketball family are all in support of him
exploring his options with the draft," Gonzaga coach Mark Few
added. "I have full confidence in Jeremy that he will make an
educated and thoughtful decision after going through the
process."
