Flurry of early entries to NBA draft drains ACC's star power
Posted Apr 14, 2015
As many as nine players from the ACC could leave college early to enter this year's NBA draft. From Okafor to Olivier, the ACC is losing some serious star power. It's been assumed all year that Duke's Jahlil Okafor would be a one-and-done player at the college level. The two most recent decisions came on Monday as Boston College's Olivier Hanlan and Virginia's Justin Anderson will reportedly enter the NBA draft.
