Damian Lillard will forgo his final year of eligibility and declare for the draft.

"I want to thank everyone that has helped me get to this point," Lillard said. "I have loved my time at Weber State and am looking forward to playing at the next level."

The 6-foot-3 Lillard is projected by many as a lottery pick in this year’s draft.

He averaged 24.5 points, five rebounds and four assists this past season.
