Today we are going to highlight three Los Angeles collegiate players (read: players, not stars) who all declared early entry to the NBA draft. I doubt any of them will be drafted, which is why they are the first contestants on this show.
This version is a multiple choice version. Match the picture with the description.
A. I averaged 8.5 points this season and had four points and four turnovers in my team's season-ending NCAA tournament loss to Villanova. I did not make nbadraft.net's mock draft board but with hard work and a solid showing at draft camp, I'm looking to climb my way to #60 in the draft. If I had stayed two more years at UCLA, I probably would be a first round pick.
B. I'm a 23-year-old junior and have been compared to the great Vin Baker. They say that I'm undersized to play power forward in the NBA at 6-9, 225 lbs., but I'm already older than Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, and Kevin Durant so I should get to the NBA ASAP while I still have my youthful figure.
C. I averaged 4.7 assists and 3.3 turnovers as a junior point guard and choked in my team's previous two NCAA tournament losses. I make it a point to fight one of my teammates every pre-season and I'm not ranked in the top 75 NBA draft prospects. In fact, NBAdraft.com didn't even take the time to rate my skills. See you in June David Stern!
