Arizona point guard Nico Mannion declared for the NBA draft on Tuesday.
Mannion is widely considered to be a potential lottery pick. He entered Arizona as a top-10 recruit last fall, and averaged 14 points and 5.3 assists in his lone season with the Wildcats.
The 19-year-old's strength is as a facilitator. He struggled shooting at Arizona, hitting just 39.2% of his field-goal attempts.
