Illinois' Jakucionis, Riley have declared for NBA Draft
As expected, the dynamic freshman duo of Kasparas Jakucionis and Will Riley are one-and-done with the Fighting Illini.
Both have officially declared for the NBA Draft.
Jakucionis, the Lithuanian import who averaged 15 points and nearly five assists in his lone season in Champaign, is projected as a top-10 NBA Draft lottery pick.
Riley, a five-star recruit from Canada, was the Big Ten sixth man of the year. He vaulted himself in into the first round of the draft with a dominant NCAA Tournament against Xavier.
The Illini were eliminated from the NCAA Tourney by Kentucky in the second round this year.
