Pitt has a press release on Chris Taft going pro.

“Through my discussions with Chris and his family and the information we have obtained through various NBA sources, Chris has decided to declare for the 2005 NBA Draft,” Pittsburgh Head Coach Jamie Dixon said. “We support Chris in his decision and in his future. Chris has been a valuable contributor to our success over the past two years and we feel fortunate to have had a person like Chris as a member of our program.”

In 2003-04, Taft earned consensus Freshman All-America honors, the school’s fourth all-time Big East Rookie of the Year Award and was named an All-Big East Third Team selection. He also set a school record with six Big East Rookie of the Week awards. In helping Pittsburgh win its third consecutive Big East regular season title, Taft averaged 10.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game and ranked among school freshman records in 11 statistical categories.

In 65 career games, Taft averaged 12.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks. He concludes his career ranked tied for sixth among school leaders in career blocked shots with 110, finished with 13 double-doubles, 44 double figure scoring games and 14 10-plus rebound games.
