Players considering the NBA

[Russ Smith]

Marcus Williams of UA is officially testing the waters without an agent. hard to get a read on where he'll be projected, great talent but needs to get stronger and more consistent with his jumper. Has first round talent but I'd hope he comes back.

PJ Tucker in, no agent. Daniel gibson's dad says he will likely also go in with no agent.

Interestingly Texas hoped to land Darrell Arthur this year but its being reported he's signing with LSU so he can play next to Big Baby for one year before going NBA. Apparently he's worried too many kids from Texas are leaving and LSU will be better this coming season.

Here come the flood of juniors declaring. GW has Danilo Pinnock and Carl Elliott, both guards in with no agent. Bradley C Patrick O'Bryant in without an agent, and Michigan State's Shannon Brown in with no agent.

Pinnock and Brown are both considered on the line between first and second round. O'Bryant is a lock first rounder. have no idea on Elliott, apparently his filing is a total surprise.

Williams has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow to declare his intentions. I've read he has a Top 20 promise which in my mind means he he's gone as the 2007 draft is going to be loaded.

Shakur though is definitely declaring for the draft. Which basketball league not named the NBA he is going to be drafted by remains to be seen.
