Early Entries #2

Kevin Durant made it official today by announcing he will enter the NBA Draft. I'm all about education but anyone in his position would be stupid not to jump to the pros now. BRB Prediction: #2 pick

Julian Wright from Kansas, who has insisted that he would stay at Kansas, announced he will enter the NBA Draft as well. Julian is an NBA talent but like Josh McRoberts, should've bounced last year if he was going to go early. He has tremendous athleticism and length but he couldn't throw the ball into the ocean. If he develops a jumper by the time workouts come, he could go as high as #6. BRB Prediction: btw #8-13

Sean Williams, who was thrown off of BC's team this season for marijuana possession, has entered the NBA Draft. He has the most volatile stock in the draft. He is clearly a Top 15 talent but many experts believe he could go undrafted because of his off-court issues. BRB Prediction: A little surprising but I think he will go to the Knicks at the end of the 1st Round (remember they swapped picks in the Eddy Curry Trade). He's a perfect fit for what Isiah Thomas wants to do.

Wayne Ellington announced today he would be sticking around Chapel Hill and Tyler Hansbrough, according to multiple sources, will do the same. Good move for both of these kids. Ellington is just a jump shooter right now, he needs to develop a mid-range game as well before making the jump. Psycho T is a college player not a pro.

Roy Bright also announced he would enter the NBA Draft to see where his stock was. I think I speak for everyone when I say: Who? I had to look it up. He averaged 15 points a game on Delaware State this season after transferring from Cincy. Roy, do yourself a favor and get a degree before you go to Europe to play. BRB Prediction: If there were 4 Rounds, undrafted.
