UCLA sophomore forward Kyle Anderson plans to enter the NBA draft, according to SNY.tv.

Anderson, 20, averaged 14.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game for UCLA this season. The 6-foot-9 point forward shot 48.3 percent from three-point range.

UCLA lost to Florida 79-68 in an NCAA Tournament regional semifinal Thursday. Anderson had 11 points on four-of-11 shooting, nine rebounds, five assists and two steals.

“Kyle is totally prepared mentally to come out,” Anderson’s father, Kyle Anderson Sr., told SNY.tv earlier this year. “He knows he’ll have to get adjusted to the rigors and physicality of the NBA but mentally he’s always been a little more mature than the average age he’s at.”
