Let the underclassmen exodus to the NBA begin, Part Four
Two more notable underclassmen declared for the NBA draft on Wednesday: Texas sophomore guard D.J. Augustin and Kansas guard Mario Chalmers.
Many NBA draft experts peg Augustin as a lottery pick, so his early entry should not have surprised anybody. Augustin was a consensus first team All-American this season and averaged 19.2 points and 5.8 assists per game for the Longhorns.
Chalmers became an instant legend in Kansas folklore when he hit a game-tying 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left to send the national championship game against Memphis into overtime. Chalmers averaged 12.8 points and 4.3 assists per game for the national champion Jayhawks.
I’m a little surprised that Chalmers declared and would not be at all surprised to see him withdraw from the draft and return to Kansas for his senior season.
