BJ Young Declares For NBA Draft

Mar 29, 2013 9:51 AM

BJ Young will enter the NBA draft, forgoing his final two years of eligibility at Arkansas.

“This is his dream and as a coach I encourage him to pursue that dream," Razorbacks coach Mike Anderson said in a statement. "I gave him the pros and cons of his decision and he chose to enter the draft. BJ has become a well-rounded player, leading us in scoring and assists and he became a more active rebounder.”

The 6-foot-3 guard led the Razorbacks in scoring this season at 15.2 points per game and shot 44.9 percent from the floor, including 22.7 percent from the three-point line.

Young is projected as a second-round pick in the June draft.

Mar 27, 2013 9:56 PM

Amath M’Baye will forgo his senior season of eligibility to enter the NBA draft.

M'Baye, a native of France, is a longshot to make an NBA roster next year.

"I grew up watching the Euro league stuff. I can tell you it's not that bad over there," he said. "They make a great living for themselves. It's a great environment to play in. The NBA is definitely a dream. It's still a goal of mine. But the options are not bad at all."

M’Baye is set to graduate from the University of Oklahoma in May.
