Looks like Georgetown junior DaJuan Summers has had a change of heart regarding his plans for next year.
A little over a month ago Summers declared his intentions to come back for his senior year, but today coach John Thompson III announced that the forward was making himself eligible for the NBA draft. According to the statement released on GUHoyas.com, Summers is in the process of hiring an agent, which means he will not be able to remove his name from the draft and return to school.
The junior out of Baltimore was the Hoyas’ leading scorer last season, averaging 13.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Summers was placed on the preseason Wooden Award watchlist, and saw his draft stock quickly rise as the Hoyas’ season got off to a strong start. But as the Hoyas’ faltered Summers became the subject of criticism for his poor shot selection and declining offensive efficiency.
With the departure of Summers, Georgetown is left without any returning seniors on next year’s squad. Hoya fans must now wait to see if the team’s other highly regarded prospect, freshman center Greg Monroe, will follow Summers into the draft.
