Sophomore center Greg Smith will leave Fresno State to declare for the NBA.

Smith's uncle Stephen Shelley said that the move was 'official' and that he wouldn't test the waters.

Smith was a second-team All-Western Athletic Conference pick after finishing second on the Fresno State men's basketball team in scoring at 11.7 points per game and first in rebounds, at 8.1 per game.

The job status of head coach Steve Cleveland was a factor.

"I would have loved to have Cleveland as a coach. He taught me to be mature and gave me responsibilities," Smith said. "He helped me in many ways grow up as an 18-, 19-year-old freshman. I have to give a lot of credit to him."

Smith said he's very confident he can play at the NBA level: "I know what I'm capable of and I know I'm ready to play against that talent."

Smith was the WAC Freshman of the Year in 2009-10.

Utah State defeated Boise State by a final of 77-69 in the title game of the 2011 WAC Tournament.

Brockeith Pane was named Tournament MVP and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by teammates Tai Wesley and Nate Bendall, Adrian Oliver (San Jose State) and La'Shard Anderson (Boise State).

Utah State senior Tai Wesley won Player of the Year honors in the Western Athletic Conference.

Nevada's Deonte Burton won Freshman of the Year.

Joining Wesley on the All-Conference First Team is teammate Brockeith Pane, Adrian Oliver (San Jose State), Troy Gillenwater (New Mexico State) and La'Shard Anderson (Boise State).

On the Second Team are Greg Smith (Fresno State), Jeff Ledbetter (Idaho), Dario Hunt (Nevada), Brian Green (Utah State) and Bill Amis (Hawaii).
