Houston guard Milos Uzan is declaring for the NBA draft, fresh off the Cougars’ defeat in the NCAA tournament championship game. Uzan’s agent told ESPN of his client’s decision.
The 6-foot-4 Uzan was Houston’s third-leading scorer this season, averaging 11.4 points and 4.3 assists while shooting 43% on 145 3-point attempts. He played his first two college seasons at Oklahoma before transferring to Houston.

Uzan had a breakout game in the NCAA tournament, scoring 22 points in a Sweet 16 victory over Purdue. That performance included the game-winning basket on a layup with 0.9 seconds remaining. However, he scored seven points or fewer in each of the Cougars’ final three tournament games, including the Final Four and national title game.
