TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State freshman Dwayne Bacon announced Wednesday night that he will submit his name for the NBA draft but will not hire an agent.
A 6-foot-7 guard, Bacon made the announcement on his Twitter account, and it was confirmed by a school spokesman.
Bacon is taking advantage of a new rule that allows underclassmen to attend the May 10-15 NBA draft combine to get feedback from teams and then decide whether they'll remain in the draft or return to school as long as they haven't signed with an agent. The deadline to withdraw from the draft is May 25.
