I hope he doesn't do this, but you can't really argue with his reasoning. I just don't want to give agents another two months to influence him
with mis-information.

Half-heartedly delcare for the draft and not hire an agent, then if the grades aren't where they should be when they are posted in early May, hire an agent
and go.

judging by his well publicized academic shortcomings before arriving at usc, i think it's clear that Davon isn't much of a student, and once he's
put his name out there you know there will be enough people in his ear that he'll hire an agent. imo, based purely on his athleticism he'll get drafted
by a team willing to take a flyer.
the bad news after reading this story is that i'm more convinced than ever that Taj Gibson won't be back. |

Why after reading this story are you "more convinced than ever that Taj Gibson won't be back?"

nbadraft.net had Davon as #20 for next year. He really isn't ready. |

there is nothing surprising about this. Davon is not going to stay till his junior year, so he knows he might as well declare and familiarize himself with the
draft process. He'll receive a sobering assessment at the camps and realize he's still a year away from the draft. As long as he stays in school and
finishes up the semester, there's no real need to worry at this point.
I'm actually shocked that Taj hasn't declared yet. He might as well use his declare pass as well. |

Gabe didn't get a sobering assessment- He got promised a first round pick by the Pistons. When you consider that he would haven't have played for the
1st semester this year and how deep and talent this year G draft is, he probably made the right decision staying in the draft last year. Its not so easy to
just put your name in the draft, there are a lot of expenses that the player and his family have to cover.

This year's NBA draft is going to be amazingly strong and I would be very surprised if Davon got drafted at all. I don't see a position that he could
make an NBA team at. I don't think he shoots well enough to be a three,too small for a four and doesn't defend or rebound well enough at either
position. He would make a huge mistake by coming out this year instead of next year. He needs to refine his skills and further understand the game.
