    Diamond Stone is gone, and Melo Trimble has one foot out the door.

    Maryland announced Monday that both Trimble and Stone will declare for the 2016 NBA Draft. Trimble, the Terrapins' star guard, will not sign with an agent, while Stone will hire representation and turn pro.

    Trimble, a sophomore, averaged 14.8 points and 4.9 assists per game this season. Though he struggled with his jumper down the stretch, the dynamic guard still flashed a smooth offensive game that combines both scoring and passing abilities.

    Stone, a freshman, often came off the bench but was also an important piece of the Maryland puzzle. The big man from Milwaukee averaged 12.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, and his skill around the basket has prognosticators predicting he'll be a first-round pick come June.

    Head coach Mark Turgeon addressed the plans of both players in a statement.
