LSU freshman Anthony Randolph intends to enter the NBA draft although he has not hired an agent and is leaving open the possibility of returning to the Tigers for his sophomore year, as reported by the Associated Press.

?There cannot be a better time for me to enter the NBA draft,? Randolph said Tuesday. ?I am well aware of the challenges young men face when entering the professional ranks of any career. However, I believe I am ready to face these challenges with a positive attitude, and I have faith and determination that I will succeed.?
