Seven-foot UNLV freshman Stephen Zimmerman plans to enter the 2016 NBA draft, league sources told The Vertical.
Zimmerman, 19, plans to sign with an agent and eliminate the opportunity to withdraw and return to college basketball before the NCAA's May 25 deadline, sources said.
A formal announcement is expected early this week.
Jonathan Givony, the Vertical’s draft insider, has Zimmerman at No. 26 in his most recent mock draft.
NBA executives told The Vertical that Zimmerman, mobile, skilled and a good shot-blocker, has the potential to move into the top half of the draft with some strong performances in pre-draft workouts.
Zimmerman averaged 10.5 points and 8.7 rebounds for the Runnin’ Rebels, who failed to reach the postseason.
