Andre Roberson Delays Announcement On NBA Decision

Apr 26, 2013 3:42 PM

Andre Roberson canceled a Friday press conference at which he was scheduled to announce whether he would enter the NBA draft.

The deadline is 10 p.m. Sunday for non-seniors to declare for the draft.

"It's a big decision, an emotional decision," Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. "Especially for Andre, when you want something (professional career) so much and you're also at a place (CU) that is so special to him, you're torn.

"Andre sees the benefits and risks of both, and he's weighing those benefits and risks. At the end of the day, he'll do what's best for him."

Boyle: Andre Roberson Receiving 'Misinformation' On Draft Position

Apr 12, 2013 11:13 AM

Tad Boyle believes Andre Roberson is receiving "misinformation" that may be influencing the junior forward's thought process.

"There's a lot of misinformation that I can't control — who's talking to him or his family," Boyle said. "I know Andre is a terrific young man. He's got a good head on his shoulders. But there are a lot of things that go into (this decision) in terms of the family and the misinformation.”

Roberson is rated no higher than a second round pick by draft outlets and most NBA scouts.

"Really what it comes down to is risk-reward. ... For Andre, the reward is 'iffy,'” Boyle said. “And the risk is pretty drastic, pretty major. At the end of the day, these guys have that dream (to play in the NBA), and it's a very strong magnet that draws them."
