Gonzaga's Tillie to test NBA draft waters

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Gonzaga forward Killian Tillie will test the NBA waters.

The school said Sunday that Tillie will submit his name for the NBA draft, but the junior could return to school.

Under new NCAA rules, college players can retain the services of an agent during the evaluation process, but must end the relationship and withdraw from the draft by May 29.

Tillie had an injury-filled junior season, missing 22 games with multiple issues. Tillie appeared in only 15 games and averaged 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds. He shot 50 percent in his limited action. He was a preseason all-West Coast Conference selection after a sophomore season, during which the 6-foot-10 native of France averaged 12.9 points and 5.9 rebounds.

Tillie is No. 82 in ESPN's top 100 available players, and the No. 12 center.
