Dort will hire an agent and is “all in” on the NBA moving forward according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
The 6-foot-4, 215-point shooting guard averaged 16.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and garnered second-team All-Conference honors.
Highlights from Lu Dort’s freshman season at ASU, which also won him second team all-conference and Pac-12 all-defensive team honors. Big pre-draft process coming up for him.

While he struggled at times with consistency offensively, Dort was arguably ASU’s top defender. An intense all-around player, he averaged 1.5 steals per game and used his strong upper body to keep opponents out of the paint.
He’s projected by many to go anywhere late in the first round of this summer’s draft.
