Trey Burke Will Likely Turn Pro If Michigan Has Great Season

Trey Burke will likely declare for the draft if Michigan advances far into the 2013 NCAA tournament.

"If I have a great season, and we go far, I probably will lean towards coming out," Burke said. "I can’t really speak on that right now, it’s too early.

"But I definitely will look into it and my coaches will help me look into it because they understand the type of situation I’m in."

Burke declined to comment on the results of the NBA's undergraduate advisory board's report.

"I just felt like it was the right decision for me to make," Burke said. "After talking it over with my family, the coaching staff, we kind of pretty much just broke down the pros and cons of leaving and staying, and I felt like the right decision was to stay.

"With the recruits we have coming in, with the players that we have coming back, we have a great chance of being a Final Four, if not a National Championship team."

Cody Zeller Wants To Mature Before Declaring For Draft

Cody Zeller put a hold on his NBA career mostly because he thought he wasn't quite mature enough for the pros.

“It’s a tough process. I mean, it’s a lot of money,” said Zeller of his decision to return for his sophomore year at Indiana. “I’m just not ready to grow up yet. Paying rent, getting a house, becoming an adult — I’m not ready for all that. I’m enjoying my college career, on and off the court. I’m definitely happy to be here.”

Zeller was projected as a lottery pick in the June draft.
