Mississippi State’s Reggie Perry declares for NBA Draft

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Reggie Perry, the 6-foot-10 sophomore from Mississippi State, announced Sunday via a video that he intends to declare for the NBA Draft.

Perry averaged 17.4 points and 10.1 rebounds this past season. Last season Perry earned All-SEC freshman honors and averaged 9.7 points and 7.2 rebounds a game.

He tested the NBA Draft waters a year ago but returned to campus. He is expected to sign with an agent and remain in the draft this time.

The NBA Draft may not take place until August or September, as I reported over on Forbes.com.
