Arizona freshman forward Aaron Gordon will join the list of one-and-dones in this year's NBA draft, a source told Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports on Monday.

The Pac-12 Freshman of the Year averaged 12.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks per game this season for the Wildcats (33-5), who lost to Wisconsin by one point in overtime of the West Region final in this year's NCAA Tournament.

Gordon scored only eight points on 3-of-11 shooting against the Badgers, but did have a season-high 18 rebounds.

The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Gordon, who shot 49.5 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from three-point range, is expected to be a lottery pick.
