LOS ANGELES, April 10 (UPI) -- Freshman USC guard O.J. Mayo says he will enter his name into June's NBA draft after spending one season at the Pacific-10 school.
The 6-foot-5 inch Huntington, West Va., native was a First Team Pac-10 selection.
In the 2007-08 season, Mayo had per game averages of 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists while starting all 33 contests.
"This comes as no surprise," Coach Tim Floyd said in a statement after Mayo made his decision public late Wednesday. "We are appreciative of everything O.J. did for all of us and I have no doubt that he will be a great professional."
Mayo joins a growing list of underclassmen making the same decision this week.
Also on the list are West Virginia junior forward Joe Alexander, Indiana freshman guard Eric Gordon, and sophomore forward Chase Budinger of Arizona.
All can return next season if they don't hire an agent.
