Houston's Jarace Walker Plans to Declare for 2023 NBA Draft; Projected Lottery Pick

After Houston's season came to an end with a Sweet 16 loss to Miami, Jarace Walker said he intends to enter the 2023 NBA draft.

Walker confirmed following the Cougars' 89-75 defeat on Friday night he plans to turn pro after one year in college.

B/R's Jonathan Wasserman has Walker ranked as the sixth-best player in this year's draft class:

"Aside from the easy baskets he picks up off his power and length, he's demonstrated promising shooting range (33 3PTM), shot-making from the post and footwork and touch shots on drives past closeouts. His NBA coach may also be surprised to see how skilled of a live-dribble passer he is, something he was able to show more of at IMG."
