McGary headed to NBA after testing positive for marijuana at U-M

With the specter of a yearlong NCAA suspension looming after he tested positive for marijuana, Michigan Wolverines sophomore big man Mitch McGary has declared for the NBA draft.

The 6-foot-10 McGary played in only eight games in 2013-14 before a back injury ended his season in mid-December.

Yahoo! Sports reported that McGary failed a drug test administered by the NCAA following the Wolverines' Sweet 16 victory over Tennessee, a game in which McGary suited up but had no intention of playing.

McGary averaged only 7.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in his two-year career at Michigan, but his potential is tantalizing. In Michigan's six NCAA tournament games in 2013, he averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds.
