Auburn guard Jared Harper has declared for the 2018 NBA draft.

Harper will not sign with an agent, which would allow him to return to school for his junior season if he withdraws by May 30.

The sophomore was a huge catalyst for the Tigers’ success this season, as he averaged 13.2 points and 5.4 assists while playing 30.5 minutes per game.

Should Harper remain in the draft, it would be the third guard that Auburn has lost from its roster this offseason.

Mustapha Heron, who led the the team in scoring with 16.4 points per game, has entered the draft and will sign with an agent.

The Tigers also lost the services of freshman point guard Davion Mitchell, who announced that he was transferring from the program.

Bruce Pearl’s team will add the services of VCU transfer guard Samir Doughty after he sat out this season.
