Ohio State freshman forward Kosta Koufos announced Monday that he will declare for the NBA draft but not hire an agent.

The seven-footer averaged 14.4 points and 6.7 rebounds as the Buckeyes (24-13) captured the National Invitation Tournament championship.

Koufos scored 18.2 points over five games in the NIT and had 22 points in the 92-85 victory over Massachusetts in the championship game on April 3.

By not hiring an agent, Koufos can return to Ohio State for his sophomore season in 2008-09.
