Buckeyes' Koufos will declare, won't hire agent
Ohio State 7-foot freshman Kosta Koufos will declare for the NBA draft, according to sources close to the situation.
Koufos is a skilled big man who averaged 14.4 points and 6.7 rebounds per game for the Buckeyes, but he struggled early in the season and still needs to get stronger before he can make an impact at the next level.Sources told FOXSports.com that Koufos will not yet hire an agent.
He had 22 points and nine rebounds in Ohio State's victory against UMass in the NIT championship.
There has also been speculation that Koufos could sign a lucrative contract to play overseas in Greece — where his mother is from — if he isn't expected to go in the first half of the first round.
The deadline for underclassmen to announce is April 27.
