Khaman Maluach, a 7-2 center from South Sudan who is still 18 years old, has been projected as a lottery pick. His agent confirmed late Saturday the Duke freshman will enter the NBA Draft.

Maluach is the fourth Duke player to make an early jump to the NBA draft, starting with freshman wing Kon Knueppel and junior guard Tyrese Proctor. Last week, freshman star Cooper Flagg — named The Associated Press national player of the year in early April — joined the list as the favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick.
