After signing with agent, Chris Duarte’s career in Oregon is effectively over

The AP Pac-12 Player of the Year, Chris Duarte, has signed with an agent, cementing the end of his career with the Oregon Ducks.

It was a result of the end of the season that we knew was coming, but when Oregon Ducks senior Chris Duarte signed with an agent earlier this week and virtually finalized his transition to the NBA by starting the draft process, it ended his time in Eugene.

By signing with an agent, no player is allowed to return to college.

According to Yahoo! Sports writer Chris Haynes, Duarte signed with agent Charles Briscoe, who also represents players like Dwight Howard, Avery Bradley, and Michael Beasley. Briscoe can now add Duarte to the list, giving him a young and talented player who has seen his draft stock rise significantly over the past couple of months after he led the Ducks to a strong finish in 2021, capped off by an upset over the No. 2 seeded Iowa Hawkeyes and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

The Pac-12 Player of the Year will now set his sights on the NBA Draft, where he will look to crack the top-15 and become a lottery pick on June 22.
