Arizona’s Josh Green declares for 2020 NBA Draft

Arizona freshman swingman Josh Green is entering his name into the 2020 NBA Draft pool, he confirmed today to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.

Green is the third Wildcats underclassman to declare for the draft, joining teammates Nico Mannion and Zeke Nnaji. All three project to be possible first-round picks. Coming in at No. 21 overall on ESPN’s big board, Green slots in between Mannion (No. 14) and Nnaji (No. 34).

In 30 games (30.9 MPG) as a freshman, Green averaged 12.0 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 2.6 APG and 1.5 SPG with a .424/.361/.780 shooting line.

In his scouting report, Mike Schmitz of ESPN notes that Green doesn’t have an elite skill on the offensive end but is a versatile defender and improved shooter who has an ideal physical profile for an NBA wing.

Green is the second potential first-round pick to declare Friday for the draft, joining Duke’s Vernon Carey Jr. Carey’s father confirmed that his son has officially declared for the draft and will sign with agent Jeff Wechsler for representation, tweets Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
