Azuolas Tubelis turned 21 last month, which means he can legally celebrate the next step in his basketball journey.
The 6-foot-11 forward declared for the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, likely putting an end to one of the best careers in UA history. Per Givony, Tubelis is “unlikely” to return to college basketball for next season.
In three seasons with the Wildcats, Tubelis averaged 15.6 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 57.3 percent, becoming the 15th player in school history to score 1,500 points.
