Indiana guard Victor Oladipo will forego his senior season and enter the NBA draft, according to the Indianapolis Star. The paper reports that Indiana has called a press conference for 4 p.m. Tuesday and Oladipo will meet with the media alongside IU coach Tom Crean, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The junior guard was named a first-team Associated Press All-American this past season and is scheduled to graduate from IU in May. The Hoosiers are expected to have an answer regarding teammate Cody Zeller's decision whether to stay or turn pro Wednesday, according to the paper.
After falling to Syracuse in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament, an NBA scout told the Indianapolis Star: "It's a no-brainer for Victor to head to the league becase his value won't get any higher than what it is. Returning will likely hurt him."
Oladipo moved up the draft board during the 2012-13 season. He averaged 13.6 points and made 44 percent of his 3-pointers this season while showcasing agressive defense and an athletic all-around game.
