Arizona freshman Carter Bryant reportedly declared for the 2025 NBA draft ahead of the early entry deadline on Saturday, according to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.
Bryant helped the Wildcats to the Sweet 16, averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and one assist on 37.1% shooting from 3-point range in 37 games. He scored in double figures five times, including a season-high-tying 14 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks on Jan. 27.
The early entrant deadline for underclassmen was 11:59 p.m. EDT on Saturday. Bryant is expected to test the predraft process while maintaining his college eligibility.
Bryant is considered a potential first-round pick in the draft this year, with his scoring potential, playmaking ability and size at 6 feet, 8 inches. He also proved to be a reliable floor spacer after connecting on at least two 3-pointers in 12 games.
The 19-year-old came off the bench for much of the season, becoming a key contributor in the Wildcats’ second unit. He showcased his defensive versatility in 19.3 minutes per game and emerged as a ferocious dunker throughout the season.
Bryant will be able to gauge his draft stock in team workouts and the combine on May 11-18 in Chicago, Illinois. He has until May 28 to withdraw from the draft and return to school.
The 2025 NBA draft will occur June 25-26 in New York City.
