Area stars pick NBA, now wait to be picked

Posted Apr 24, 2009
Now that they're pros, where will they go? Davidson's Stephen Curry and North Carolina's Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington announced Thursday they're entering the NBA draft. For Lawson and Ellington, that decision will be final Sunday (the NBA's deadline for entering the draft), since they used up their chance to pull out of the draft last spring. Curry said he'll retain an agent, which would also negate his remaining season of eligibility. (Charlotte Observer)
