California sophomore forward Ivan Rabb will make himself eligible for the 2017 NBA draft with no plan to back out, he told The Undefeated.

Rabb averaged 14 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.0 block in 32.6 minutes per game this season.

The 6-foot-11, 220-pounder told The Undefeated before the 2016-17 season that he had no regrets about taking his name out of the 2016 NBA draft, but his sophomore season would likely be his last.

The projected first-round pick was a 2017 All-Pac 12 Conference first-team selection under former Cal basketball coach Cuonzo Martin, who has departed to take the head coach job at the University of Missouri.

"Cal meant a lot to me," Rabb told The Undefeated. "My two years at Cal was a huge learning experience both on and off the court."
