There are multiple media reports out there that UConn Huskies junior All-American point guard Kemba Walker will be declaring for the NBA Draft in a press conference on Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m.
Honestly, I figured the writing was literally on the wall. After all, he has his number placed in the “Huskies of Honor” and underneath his name, it said 2008-2011.
There’s really nothing left for Kemba to prove at UConn.
He had arguably the greatest season ever in a men’s basketball uniform at Storrs. He was a consensus All-American. The only thing lacking was a player of the year trophy but I’m guessing that he’ll take the 2011 National Championship trophy over any of those individual honors or awards.
If you’d like to watch the press conference, UConnHuskies.com will be streaming it live at 3 p.m.
