UCLA star junior Jaylen Clark has declared for the 2023 NBA Draft, he announced Wednesday.
The 6-foot-5 wing shot up draft boards this past season, becoming the first Bruin to win Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year since Russell Westbrook, and averaging 13 points per game on 48.1% shooting.

A four-star recruit in the class of 2020, Clark is likely a late first round, or early second round, selection in this year’s draft.
Clark’s pre-draft process may be hindered by an achilles injury that held him out of postseason play.
