“I love the coaches, the school and my teammates,” he said. "There is still a lot of uncertainty with what might happen to next year’s NCAA season, so entering the draft gives me a little more time to evaluate that.”
He added he will work with Coach Mark Few and the staff in reaching a decision before the draft's withdrawal date.
Ayayi is the second Gonzaga player to declare for the draft without hiring an agent, joining Corey Kispert.
Ayayi enjoyed a breakout season after averaging just 1.7 points in limited action as a freshman.
