Syracuse forward Wesley Johnson and North Carolina sophomore Ed Davis both declared for the NBA draft today. These two announcements may be a feather on the scale against Greg Monroe entering the draft; both have been projected ahead of Monroe, meaning that their entry pushes Monroe down tthe draft board a bit. Several others, including West Virginia sophomore Devin Ebanks, have also declared, but that bears even less on Monroe’s decision.
All indications are that Monroe’s decision will be his own, but the fact that all eight players projected ahead of him in the draft have declared their entry certainly doesn’t hurt the odds that he’ll be back on the Hilltop next year.
