Creighton standout junior point guard Marcus Zegarowski announced Tuesday that he is declaring for the NBA draft.
The first-team All-Big East selection led the Bluejays to the Sweet 16 this season before the team lost to top-seeded Gonzaga.
“I will be entering the 2021 NBA Draft and look forward to continuing to work hard, chase my dream and play the game I love,” Zegarowski said in his announcement on Twitter. “Thank you Creighton for making my college experience so special. I will forever be a Bluejay.”
