UNLV's Rashad Vaughn to declare for NBA draft

Despite missing nine games with a left knee injury during his freshman season, Rashad Vaughn announced on Wednesday that he's leaving the Runnin' Rebels and will declare for the NBA draft.

The 6-foot-6 guard was the marquee name in coach Dave Rice's 2014 recruiting class and lived up to the billing when he was on the court, leading the Rebels with 17.6 points per game.
