Memphis Sophomore Point Guard Darius Washington told DraftExpress columnist Mike Schmidt that he will be entering his name in the 2006 NBA draft.

Washington told us recently that should he enter the draft, it would be "for good".

Washington is yet another in a long line of underclassmen considered bubble first rounders to enter their name in this year's draft. As of today, 40 underclassmen have already entered their names in, with many more still expected.  In 2004, only 31 underclassmen entered the draft. In 2005, 49 entered. In both years, the number of marginal junior prospects from low-major schools looking solely for attention was considerably higher, though.
