Freshman Chris McCullough plans to test the NBA draft process after one season at Syracuse.

Sports Illustrated reported McCullough is expected to turn pro.

McCullough is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in January and is not able to work out for prospective teams or participate in the pre-draft combine in Chicago.

McCullough, 20, averaged 9.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 16 games with the Orange.
