Did you hear Donte Greene is going into the NBA Draft? WTF!

 Is he signing with an agent?

In a statement just released by the Syracuse University athletic communications department, Syracuse freshman Donte Greene will enter the NBA draft.

Greene spoke with Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim today and informed him of his desire to enter the NBA draft.

In the statement, Greene says, "After discussing my future plans with my family and Coach Boeheim today, I've decided to declare for the NBA draft. The Syracuse coaching staff is going to gather information on my behalf and help begin that process."

The NBA draft will take place on June 26. Greene had until April 27 to enter his name in the draft. Greene can withdraw his name from the draft and return to Syracuse for his sophomore season as long as he does not sign with an agent. The deadline for college underclassmen to withdraw from the draft is June 16.

Syracuse University athletic communications director Pete Moore said that Greene has not signed with an agent.

Greene, a 6-foot-11 forward, averaged 17.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this past season for Syracuse.

He is seen by most NBA scouts and analysts as a mid-first round pick in the 12 to 20 range. Boeheim told the Post-Standard a little over a week ago that if Greene returned to school and had a dominant sophomore season, he could be a top five pick in the 2009 NBA draft.

Dumbass!

No doubt - he should look at Hakim Warrick and realize he needs to put on some pounds and develop an inside game.  The NBA has enough 6-11 guys who shoot 3s, and most of them are riding the pine....
