Georgia Tech G Okogie staying in NBA draft

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound guard finished with the fastest three-quarter court
sprint (3.04 seconds) and equaled the best max vertical leap (42.0 inches) of
any participant at last week's combine in Chicago. Okogie also tied for fourth
in the standing vertical (33.0 inches) and finished fifth in the shuttle run
(3.03 seconds).

"I'm extremely humbled and grateful for this opportunity to fulfill my
childhood dream," Okogie wrote in a post on Twitter, before thanking family,
friends, coaching staff, teammates and Georgia Tech fans.

"Josh is a tremendous young man and an excellent student-athlete," Jackets
coach Josh Pastner said in a statement. "... We will miss him in our program
in many respects, from his performance on the court to the energy he plays
with and brought to our team. We fully support his decision to take this next
step, and wish him all the best."

Okogie finished fourth in the ACC with 18.2 points per game last season. Most
outlets have pegged him as a second-round prospect over the last few months,
but his performance at the combine could lead to first-round consideration.
