Departures
[edit]Following the 2014-15 season seniors Frank Kaminsky, Josh Gasser, Traevon Jackson and Duje Dukan had all exhausted their NCAA eligibility. Following their NCAA championship defeat when Nigel Hayes was asked if he would declare for the NBA draft he said, "I'm nowhere near good enough to do anything but come back."[4] On April 10 Sam Dekker chose to forgo his senior year and declare for the 2015 NBA Draft.[5]
