After just one year in the NCAA, power forward Tristan Thompson has decided to leave the University of Texas and declare for the NBA draft.

Thompson projects as a first-round pick, and could end up being a lotter selection. He is looking to become the first Canadian drafted in the first round since Jamaal Magloire in 2000. He was named a first-team freshman All-American after averaging 13.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game.
