Marreese Speights of Florida declared himself eligible for the NBA draft Tuesday, although he will not hire an agent and therefore is keeping open the possibility of returning to the Gators for his junior season.

"Marreese has informed me that he would like to explore his future options in the NBA," Gators' Coach Billy Donovan said. "I will do whatever I can to help Marreese gather all necessary information to make an educated decision."

Speights was listed as the fifth overall pick in RealGM's most recent mock draft.
