(Iowa City) Iowa center Luka Garza has declared for the 2020 NBA Draft. The well decorated junior posted the following announcement Friday morning on Twitter:
This year was one I could never have imagined. None of the awards or accolades could have happened without the University of Iowa, my coaches, and my teammates. Choosing Coach McCaffery and Iowa was the best decision I’ve ever made. With that said, after meeting with my family and coaches I decided that I will be declaring for the 2020 NBA draft, and throughout this process I will be KEEPING MY ELIGIBILITY.
The NBA has been my dream since I started playing basketball as a kid and I’m going to do everything I can to pursue that. If it ends up not being the right time to make the move to the NBA, I’m excited about the potential of what my senior season as a Hawkeye could have in store.
Thank you to Hawkeye Nation for this unforgettable journey thus far. Go Hawks!
The deadline for college players to declare for the NBA Draft is April 26th. They have until June 15th to withdraw their name if they decide to return to college.
