Hayward staying in draft
Butler Bulldogs star forward Gordon Hayward intends to hire an agent and remain in the NBA Draft.
Hayward saw his draft stock take a meteoric rise thanks to a phenomenal performance in the NCAA tournament.
It’s unlikely that returning to school could improve his draft stock, so he will take the money and run.
He is projected to go anywhere from the late lottery to the middle of the first round, which means millions of dollars headingh is way.
The decision is a crushing blow for Butler, which would have been a top five team had he returned.
