SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Gonzaga guard Rasir Bolton has become the fifth starter to declare for the NBA draft.

"To Zag Nation and the Spokane Community, I love you guys! I appreciate the love and support you all had for us as a team and for welcoming me with open arms, I am forever grateful!" Bolton wrote on social media. "With that being said, playing in the NBA has been a dream of mine since I first picked up the ball."

It was unclear whether Bolton has signed with an NCAA-certified agent, which would leave the door open for a return to Gonzaga next season. Bolton, who played one season at Penn State and two more at Iowa State before moving to Spokane, is eligible for a second season at Gonzaga due to a COVID-19 waiver granted to all players who competed in 2020-21.
