By not hiring an agent, Darrell Arthur will keep alive his college eligibility and have the option of returning to Kansas for his junior year. Arthur said he probably will stay in the draft if he is projected to be picked in the top 15. He has until June 16 to withdraw his name from draft consideration. The draft is June 26. Brandon Rush, however, cannot return to KU because college players are only allowed to enter the draft without an agent one time. Rush tested the waters last year and tore his right ACL preparing for NBA workouts, forcing him to come back to Kansas for his junior year. Rush said he has heard that he will probably be a late first-round or early second-round pick in the June draft. KU coach Bill Self indicated that Arthur needs to perform well at workouts with NBA teams to insure that he'll be in the top 15. Right now, NBADraft.net projects Arthur to be picked 14th and Rush to go 19th.

Good move by him. If he's not top 15, he should stay. If he were to bulk-up 15-25 lbs, he'd be a beast and a top-five(1st?) pick next year.

Bill Self, KU's answer to Tom Osborne had indicated Arthur would be better served to develop another yr. in college. Self, as his self taught players is about everything but "himself". Arthur knows that whatever coach Self suggests will be what is best for Arthur, not what is best for Self. When contemplating a decision as difficult as Darrell and his family have to face, how nice to know they don't have to look far for an "honest " opinion.
