In some not surprising—but still noteworthy—news, Michigan State star forward Miles Bridges has declared for the NBA Draft, he announced on Twitter this morning.

After a freshman campaign which saw Bridges average 16.9 points, it was a surprise to many that he decided to return to East Lansing for another year. But with Michigan State's deep roster and a weak Big Ten, as well as a loaded draft class, he decided to come back.

In doing so, he upped his scoring average to 17.1, cut down on his turnover rate, and won a Big Ten regular-season championship en route to a disappointing loss to Syracuse in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Bridges is projected to be a first-round pick in this year's NBA Draft.
