North Carolina forward James Michael McAdoo will forgo his senior season and enter the NBA draft, it was announced Thursday.
"I just feel I am ready to play at the next level and excited about that challenge," McAdoo said in a statement released by the school.
McAdoo averaged 14.2 points and 6.8 rebounds this season and, according to multiple NBA executives, is considered a late first-round pick who could slide into the early part of the second round.
