Players now turn away from college life

Posted Jun 1, 2008

UNC's Tywon Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Danny Green have all told the NBA they are not just "testing the waters." They say they have entered this draft with the intent of joining the league. At the same time, all three players told WRAL they plan to return to school if they are not going to be first-round picks. But the question is-how do you know for certain whether you will actually be drafted in the first round? (WRAL.com)
