Georgia big man Asa Newell is entering the 2025 NBA Draft, his representatives confirmed Wednesday to ESPN.

The 6-foot-11 freshman averaged 15.4 points and 6.9 rebounds in 33 starts for the Bulldogs this season.

Newell is ranked as the No. 21 prospect in the ESPN draft projections.

Newell made the SEC All-Freshman team and helped Georgia (20-13) end a 10-year NCAA Tournament drought.

The 19-year-old forward shot 54.3 percent from the field and was second on the team with 32 blocked shots.

The NBA draft combine will take place in Chicago from May 11-18 and the draft will be in New York on June 25-26.
