Florida State's 7-1 center, Solomon Alabi, is entering the NBA draft.
Alabi, 22, averaged 9.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and a school-record 2.1 blocked shots in 77 games for the Seminoles. He was a third-team All Atlantic Coast Conference pick this past season when he helped Florida State to the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. He was twice chosen to the ACC's all defensive team.
Coach Leonard Hamilton says Alabi will finish his academic work this semester and is on track to receive a degree in international relations next year.
A pair of 7-0 juniors, Jonathan Kreft and Xavier Gibson, will be candidates vying for Alabi's starting center position next season.
