Georgia forward Asa Newell is declaring for the NBA draft, his agents told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.
Newell averaged 15.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, one block, and a steal on 54.3% shooting this season. He was named to the SEC All-Freshman team.
The 6-foot-10 Newell helped the Bulldogs make their first NCAA Tournament since 2015, as they finished the campaign 20-13 overall. Georgia lost to Gonzaga in the first round of the tourney.
Newell is projected to be a first-round selection in June.
