Hollis Thompson declared for the NBA draft Tuesday.

Thompson intends to hire an agent, according to Georgetown coach John Thompson III.

“Hollis returned for his junior year after submitting his name for the 2011 NBA draft,” Thompson said in a statement. “We fully anticipated he would enter the 2012 draft after this season. He is an extremely hard worker and we wish him the best as he takes his next step.”

Thompson, a 6-foot-8, 212-pound swingman, led the Big East in three-point shooting percentage, connecting on 43 percent of his attempts.
