Lehigh junior guard C.J. McCollum has declared himself eligible for the 2012 NBA Draft, but has not yet hired an agent, giving him the option to return for his senior year, the school announced.
McCollum may withdraw from the draft before April 11, the first day of the spring National Letter of Intent period, in which case he’d be back at Lehigh next season.
But unlike past years, when the NCAA deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft was after the NBA’s deadline, players will not be able to work out with teams before making their final decisions. The NBA’s deadline is April 29, and NBA teams are not allowed to work out underclassmen until they are given a list of draft-eligible players on May 2.
McCollum ranks fifth in the nation in scoring this season, with a 21.9 points per game average, and he dropped 30 points when Lehigh upset Duke in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Also, his 2.6 steals per game ranks fifth in the nation.
Draft Express lists McCollum as the 46th best NBA prospect.
