UNC freshman Brandan Wright plans to enter the NBA draft in June.

The 6-foot-9 forward said during a news conference Monday he doesn't intend to sign with an agent yet -- a move that would keep open the possibility of a return to school next year. But coach Roy Williams said Wright was almost certain to remain in the draft.

Wright is expected to be a high first-round pick thanks to his long, lean frame and soft touch around the basket. He ranked second on the team at 14.7 points and 6.2 rebounds a game.
