Washington State sophomore Mouhamed Gueye, a potential second-round pick, announced this week on social media that he will declare for the 2023 NBA draft.
He did not specify if he’ll hire an agent or retain his college eligibility.
Gueye was named to the All-Pac-12 first team after averaging 14.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 48.8% shooting from the field in 33 games. He led the conference in double-doubles (15) and was 18th in the country in offensive rebounding (111).
The 6-foot-11 forward tested the pre-draft process last year and participated in the G League Elite Camp before returning to school. He improved in nearly every statistical category this season and nearly doubled his scoring from a season ago (7.4 points per game).

Gueye is viewed by some to be a potential second-round pick given his ability to work in the post and rebound at a high level. He will have the opportunity to improve his draft stock in private workouts and in the combine or G League Elite Camp.
Underclassmen have until April 23 to declare for the draft.
