North Carolina players Sean May, Raymond Felton and Marvin Williams are entering the NBA draft, leaving the NCAA champion Tar Heels.

``I've coached a lot of great players and these three here are at the top of the list,'' coach Roy Williams said during a news conference Friday.

Junior guard Rashad McCants already decided to leave early.

May was planning on returning for his senior season, but saw his stock climb following his MOP Final Four.

A source close to the Tar Heels program confirmed with ESPN.com on Thursday night that both point guard Raymond Felton and center Sean May will declare for the NBA draft and are expected to sign with agents, ending their college eligibility.

The university has confirmed that Felton, May and freshman Marvin Williams will hold a news conference at 1:30 p.m. ET Friday to make their draft intentions known.

"It was difficult, but I think it's what's best for me," Felton told The Associated Press at the time. "It's something I wanted."

There is a conflicting report that indicates Williams may not declare for the NBA Draft.
