All-America guard James Harden is leaving Arizona State for the NBA. The 6-foot-5 sophomore and Pac-10 player of the year will hire an agent, ending any chance of returning to the Sun Devils.
He will be a real quality player in the NBA. Although he struggled in the tournament, I don't think it should hurt hit draft stock that much.
DeJuan Blair guaranteed Pitt coach Jamie Dixon a year ago that he would play a full college career. One exceptional season changed all that. Blair hired an agent and is going pro.
This is a perfect move for Blair, because it will be hard to repeat this next year. Blairs size, both height and weight will probably make him a mid to late first round pick. I see Blair as a Craig Smith type player.
USC junior guard Daniel Hackett will declare for the draft and sign with ASM sports, agent Andrew Vye told ESPN.com on Wednesday night.
Apparently he is fluent in Italian and English, and has a lot of connections in Italy. So that means if the NBA fails, he can always jump overseas.
Arizona forward Jordan Hill will forgo his senior year and make himself eligible for the NBA draft.
Hill is making a good choice here, because now he doesn't have to learn a new system.
