Michael Carter-Williams is declaring himself eligible for the NBA draft.
"Michael has informed me of his intention to enter the NBA Draft," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said in a statement. "He's coming off a tremendous season and we appreciate all he's done for Syracuse basketball. We wish Michael the best of luck as he pursues a pro career."
Carter-Williams, a 6-foot-6 point guard, led the Orange to the Final Four this season and averaged 11.9 points and 7.3 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.
Carter-Williams is projected as a lottery pick in the June draft.
Syracuse has been under NCAA investigation for a period of “years,” a source with knowledge of the case told CBSSports.com.
That source said the school has received a letter of preliminary inquiry from the NCAA.
The source said transgressions were described as both major and wide-ranging in nature.
When asked to characterize how wide-ranging the probe might be, a source with knowledge of the case told CBSSports.com: “Throw a dart at the [NCAA] Manual [and you would hit a violation by Syracuse]."
Georgetown's Otto Porter has been named the 2013 Big East Player of the Year. Porter is the first player from the Hoyas to win the Big East's top honor since Jeff Green in 2007.
Joining Porter on the All-Big East First Team are Notre Dame's Jack Cooley, Bryce Cotton of Providence, Louisville's Gorgui Dieng and Russ Smith, and UConn's Shabazz Napier.
Dieng was also named Defensive Player of the Year, while St. John's Jakarr Sampson was named Rookie of the Year.
The thirty candidates for Naismith Men's College Player of the Year were announced on Tuesday.

Johnson, the No. 1 center in the 2013 incoming class, chose Kentucky over Syracuse and Georgetown.
"I just want to win a national championship," Johnson said. "I want to win a high school championship, then a college championship and hopefully an NBA championship.
"(The coaching staff) told me this was not the place to come if I didn't want to work hard," he added. "But I want to work hard and I want to get pushed. And I think Kentucky is the place for me."
Johnson made his decision after No. 1 Montverde defeated Simeon by a final score of 82-53.
Johnson reclassified from 2014 to 2013 in November.
