According to the LA Times UCLA guard Darren Collison will not be declaring for the NBA Draft. The sophomore was projected by many experts to go as high as the middle of the first round. Collison averaged 12.7 points, 5.7 assists, and 2.2 steals for the Bruins, while shooting a stellar 44.7% from the outside. It was also announced that Luc Richard Mbah a Moute was also be back next season for UCLA. Add incoming freshman Kevin Love to the mix, and UCLA should be the preseason favorite to win the Pac-10 again.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Georgia Tech freshman Javaris Crittenton declared for the NBA Draft Wednesday but will not hire an agent. Crittenton's announcement comes just one day after teammate Thaddeus Young announced his intentions to enter the draft. Crittenton was an ACC All-Freshman selection after averaging 14.4 points and 5.7 assists. He is looking to be a late first round selection.
According to the Seattle Times Eastern Washington guard Rodney Stuckey has declared for the NBA Draft. Stuckey has been nothing short of stellar in his two seasons in college, averaging better than 24 points each season. He has announced he will not hire an agent at this time, wanting to see where his stock is before making a final decision. "It's a good option," Stuckey said. "It's the best thing for me to do, get feedback with where I'd be in the draft."
According to The State Clemson junior James Mays will be testing the NBA Draft waters. The 6'9" forward, who averaged 12.2 points and 6.4 rebounds this past season, has said he does not intend to hire an agent just yet, leaving the option for his senior season open. James is not projected at this point to be a first round pick.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Oklahoma point guard Bobby Maze has been given his release from the university and will transfer. The 6'3" freshman averaged 5.6 points and 2.1 assists. "This decision is best for Bobby and for our team," head coach Jeff Capel said in a statement. "I appreciate Bobby's efforts this past season and certainly wish him well in the future." The Sooners have already signed three guards during the recruiting process, but Maze's departure does hurt their depth somewhat.
