Eddie Jordan has reached an agreement to coach at Rutgers, sources with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed.

Jordan agreed in principle to a deal in the ballpark of five years and $6.25 million.

Among the many stops in Jordan’s coaching career was a 6-year stint with the Washington Wizards that included four straight appearances in the playoffs.

Michael Carter-Williams is declaring himself eligible for the NBA draft.

"Michael has informed me of his intention to enter the NBA Draft," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said in a statement. "He's coming off a tremendous season and we appreciate all he's done for Syracuse basketball. We wish Michael the best of luck as he pursues a pro career."

Carter-Williams, a 6-foot-6 point guard, led the Orange to the Final Four this season and averaged 11.9 points and 7.3 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.

Carter-Williams is projected as a lottery pick in the June draft.

R.C. Buford was in attendance for Pittsburgh’s home finale against Villanova, presumably to scout Steven Adams.

Adams, a native of New Zealand and a possible first-round selection in the forthcoming NBA draft, did not play in the game because he sprained an ankle in practice the day before.

The Spurs employ another New Zealander, Sean Marks, in their front office.

Marks serves as Buford’s director of basketball operations and remains involved in basketball in his home country.

Steven Adams has declared for the NBA draft and plans to sign with an agent.

Financial hardship is the main reason Adams is turning pro.

"In our conversations he was saying, 'I want to be here,' but I was well aware of the family situation," Pittsburgh coach Jaime Dixon said. "I have a history with the family. It's tough. He really loved it here. He's loved [his teammates] all the way through. It's hard. I know what he'd say, but I also knew what his family was saying when I had discussions with them."

One longtime NBA scout would not commit to saying Adams is a definite first-round draft pick.

"It's a shame, really," the scout said. "There is a lot more development that needs to be done there. Whether he was at Pitt or in the NBA, he is a ways away from helping an NBA team. But there are a lot of guys in the NBA who fit that description."
