Washington’s Marquese Chriss, Dejounte Murray will try the NBA

Washington freshmen Marquese Chriss and Dejounte Murray both declared for the NBA draft Wednesday and will hire agents, ending their college careers after one season and delivering a blow to the Huskies’ hopes of getting to the NCAA Tournament next year.

The decision by the players was announced by the school and was not a surprise, considering both are projected to be first-round picks after up-and-down seasons in which each flashed NBA potential.

Providence sophomore Ben Bentil says that he will declare for the NBA draft but not hire an agent.

Florida State freshman Dwayne Bacon announced he’ll submit his name for the NBA draft but will not hire an agent.
