University of Virginia junior forward Justin Anderson plans to enter the 2015 NBA draft, sources told Yahoo Sports.
Anderson is in the process of
setting up agent meetings for later this week in Virginia, sources said.
As long as he doesn’t formalize an agreement, he could still change
course and return for his senior year of college basketball before the
underclassman deadline of April 26.
Draftexpress.com has Anderson
ranked No. 32 overall in its most recent 2015 mock draft, and league
executives believe Anderson, who suffered through an injury-plagued
season, could become a first-round pick with a quality pre-draft workout
process.
Anderson averaged 12.2 points and
four rebounds for Virginia, missing eight games because of a fractured
pinkie and an appendectomy.
The Cavaliers might have been the
preseason No. 1 team with Anderson in the lineup, but even with his
departure to the NBA, Virginia should still be among the nation’s elite
preseason teams.
