Mississippi State point guard Lamar Peters will test the waters of the NBA Draft, having completed his sophomore season in Starkville.
“After an improved season for my teammates and I and discussing it with my mother, I will enter my name into the NBA draft for evaluation of my talents but will not hire an agent,” Peters tweeted on Wednesday.
The 6-foot, 185-pounder from New Orleans started 21 of 34 games for the Bulldogs this past season averaging 9.6 points and 4.5 assists. For his career, Peters has started 38 of 64 games scoring 10.1 points and averaging four assists.
By not hiring an agent, Peters has the option to return to MSU provided he withdraws his name by 4 p.m. on June 11.
The NBA Draft Combine will be on May 15 in Chicago.
