The list may still grow. I think the 5/13 was the deadline for having the player's request post marked. ------------------
Didn't Maurice Evans -- the kid from Texas --decide to return to school? What about Jaron Collins? Did just one of the dynamic duo tentatively declare for the draft? ------------------ Time is a great teacher-- only problem is it kills all its pupils.

If Zach is anything like his brother then he is gonna be one hell of a player. ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club.
Puedlfor, here is a little bit of info: "May 4, 2001 PHOENIX -- Day Three began at Mesa Community College, a local JUCO, observing a workout for high schooler turned NBA Draft eligible player: Tony Key. Key, an already well-traveled 6-foot-10, 275-pound interior player, participated in a lengthy 5-on-5 full-court scrimmage before a dozen or so NBA teams. Key, whose brother plays with the Harlem Globetrotters, showed all the game rust of a not-too-well-conditioned athlete. But the NBA scouts here didn't care much about his conditioning, an issue quickly resolved with a vigorous training program. What they did see was a player with unlimited upside to his game, a player who may get the opportunity to display his wares in better game shape next month at the Chicago camp. The key question regarding such an unheralded prospect concerns just how good he can become in a few years. Teams may wish to draft this type of player late in the first round with the hope he develops into a solid NBA player while under contract to them. Key's play in Chicago next month may well determine whether he's a late first round selection or just another name added to the list of undrafted early entry candidates." ------------------
Thank you for the info. ------------------ Charles Barkely on the Raptors defeating the Knicks in Round 1 :"I think it was the Lord. The Lord was with the Raptors. You know the Knicks like to talk so much about religion, but I think the Lord was a Raptor fan."
