UCLA senior point guard Tyger Campbell announced in an Instagram post on Wednesday that he will declare for the NBA draft.
Wednesday that he is declaring for the NBA draft, adding that he is graduating and “looking forward to the next step in my basketball career.”
“It’s hard for me to describe how special my time at UCLA has been,” Campbell wrote. “But this has been an incredible ride. It has been an absolute honor to wear the four letters across my chest and be a part of this program for five years.”A gritty playmaker whose performance vastly exceeded his 5-foot-11 stature, Campbell finished his career with 655 assists, ranking No. 2 on the school’s all-time list behind only Pooh Richardson . He tallied just 217 turnovers, giving him a 3.
After suffering a torn knee ligament and sitting out the 2018-19 season, Campbell started all 133 games he played and averaged 11.1 points. He vastly improved his outside shooting over his final two seasons, making 41% of his three-pointers as a junior and 33.8% as a senior after having previously made just 25.9%.
Continuing his steady play, Campbell logged a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists Wednesday in his first game as part of the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, a four-day showcase for seniors to compete before professional scouts.
