SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga basketball player Corey Kispert has entered his name in the NBA draft, but left open the possibility of returning for his senior season.

Kispert announced Thursday (Friday, Manila time) on Twitter that he doesn't plan on hiring an agent, which would allow him to still play for the Bulldogs.

""It's always been my dream to play in the NBA and going without an agent allows me to see where I stand,'' Kispert wrote. ""If the evaluations tell me I need to elevate my game further, I would be thrilled to return to Gonzaga and play for Zag Nation."
