North Carolina State sophomore forward T.J. Warren will declare for the NBA Draft, multiple media outlets reported Monday.

Yahoo Sports reported that agents were being lined up for Warren. However, North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried told ESPN.com that Warren’s final decision would not be made until he meets with his family on Thursday.

Warren, who is 6-foot-8, was selected the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Player of the Year after averaging 24.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.

He led the Wolfpack in scoring in each of its two NCAA Tournament games, scoring 25 points in a 74-59 win over Xavier, then contributing 28 in a 83-80 overtime loss to Saint Louis.

CBSSports.com ranks Warren as the 26th overall prospect for this year’s draft. DraftExpress.com slots him at No. 18.
