Minnesota center Daniel Oturu will enter this year's NBA draft, he confirmed to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Oturu is a potential first-round selection. He's listed as the 37th-best player overall in ESPN's top 100 rankings, and Sam Vecenie of The Athletic projects him as the 28th overall pick.
Oturu averaged a double-double of 20.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 31 games this season for Minnesota. He was also named to the All-Big Ten second team earlier this month.
