Kris Dunn Declares For Draft
2:31pm: Dunn confirmed the news to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com, adding that he’ll hire an agent.
12:37pm: Providence junior point guard Kris Dunn will enter the NBA draft, sources said to Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com. It’s unclear whether Dunn has plans to immediately hire an agent, but if he holds off, he can withdraw from the draft at anytime until May 25th, 10 days after the end of the draft combine. It nonetheless seems unlikely he’d go back for his senior season, since he’s projected as a top-10 pick. Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress has him at No. 5 in his rankings, while Chad Ford of ESPN.com lists him seventh.
Dunn improved his stock from last year, when he was projected to go in the middle of the first round but decided to stay at Providence instead. The 6’4″ 22-year-old won a second straight Big East Player of the Year award this season and continued to show improvement from behind the arc, nailing 37.2% of his 3-point looks on 113 attempts. He took only 16 3-pointers in his first two college seasons. His scoring went up to 16.4 points per game from 15.6 last season, though he was less of a distributor this year, with his assists and turnovers both down.
Teams looking for a point guard in the lottery will have to determine whether they like Dunn or Kentucky’s Jamal Murray better. Ford has Murray on top of Dunn while Givony has them reversed. That’s assuming Murray, a freshman, declares for the draft, though that appears to be a likely proposition.
Dunn is the more polished prospect, having begun college ball in 2012/13 as the 20th-ranked prospect coming out of high school. He redshirted the next season because of right shoulder surgery that cost him all but four games.
Atlantic Notes: Thompson, Biyombo, Hollis-Jefferson
Jason Thompson is proving a wise pickup for the Raptors, as his performance amid minor injuries to Jonas Valanciunas and Patrick Patterson shows, opines Mike Ganter of the Toronto Sun. The addition, which forced the team to release Anthony Bennett to clear a roster spot, didn’t do Toronto any favors with Bennett’s agency, Excel Sports Management, according to Ganter, who nonetheless believes that having Thompson ready to contribute if needed is worth it. “For me, I just know being in the league eight years, I wanted to let them know I wasn’t coming into here trying to mess things up,” Thompson said. “Obviously this is a very successful team. It’s late in the season. We still have high goals going into the playoffs with a lot of confidence as well so it’s good to see. God forbid anything happens with injuries later down the line, but everyone is ready to go. Even [rookie] Delon [Wright], really played big minutes for us as well. Guys are always ready.”
See more from Toronto and the rest of the Atlantic Division:
- Bismack Biyombo is a fitting complement in many ways to a healthy Valanciunas, observes Chris O’Leary of the Toronto Star, who, like Ganter in the second half of his above-linked piece, contends the center has given the team value that far outstrips the two-year, $5.755MM contract he signed in the offseason. It would be a tight squeeze for the Raptors, who’d only have his Non-Bird rights, to re-sign him if he turns down his player option for next season, both scribes argue.
- Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will likely play tonight for the first time since suffering a broken ankle in December, according to the Nets, who listed him as probable for the game just an hour and a half after Hollis-Jefferson and interim Nets coach Tony Brown raised the specter of him perhaps missing the rest of the season, notes Brian Lewis of the New York Post.
- Jerian Grant holds promise, as his 14-point outburst Sunday showed, but the concerns about his jump shot that kept him undrafted until the 19th pick this past year have manifested in just a 28.3% accuracy rate on jumpers this season, Brian Lewis of the New York Post points out. His inconsistency has also been maddening, but Knicks coach Kurt Rambis remains faithful, as Lewis relays.
Jahlil Okafor To Miss Rest Of Season
MARCH 22ND, 1:25pm: Okafor underwent surgery today, the Sixers announced via press release.
MARCH 11TH, 3:29pm: Jahlil Okafor will miss the rest of the season because of a torn meniscus in his right knee, according to a timetable the team announced via press release. The Sixers anticipate the center will return to basketball activities in about six weeks, but the regular season has less than five weeks remaining. The news is no shock, as Sixers coach Brett Brown wouldn’t rule out the possibility earlier this week that Okafor was done for the season.
“Jahlil recently started to experience discomfort in his right knee, which we immediately investigated,” GM Sam Hinkie said in the team’s statement. “After a comprehensive series of tests and additional evaluation by our medical team, it was revealed that he has a small tear of the meniscus. Jahlil will undergo a minor arthroscopic procedure to address the injury. Timing and details of the procedure will be finalized in the coming days.”
Thus ends a season of strong production but lingering questions for last year’s No. 3 overall pick. The 20-year-old averaged a team-leading 17.5 points per game, but the several off–court incidents in which Okafor was involved became a major story early this season, and the NBA’s reported displeasure with how the Sixers handled the situation contributed to the team’s hiring of Jerry Colangelo as chairman of basketball operations. The teaming of Okafor and fellow former lottery pick Nerlens Noel, both natural centers, also presents a long-term challenge for the team.
Okafor hasn’t played since February 28th, when he suffered a right shin contusion in a game against the Magic, though that injury isn’t necessarily related to his knee, as Jessica Camerato of CSN Philly and Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer noted. He’d been dealing with soreness in his knee since at least December, when he missed two games because of it, and it became a greater concern this week while he was trying to make his way back from the shin injury, according to Camerato.
The surgery won’t do much to affect his contract status, since he’s in year one of a four-year rookie scale contract. A decision on his third-year team option is due in the fall, but it’s almost certain the Sixers will pick it up.

Que Johnson To Enter Draft
Washington State junior shooting guard Que Johnson will declare for this year’s draft, a source told Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com (Twitter link). He won’t hire an agent, Rothstein hears, so he can withdraw anytime until May 25th. That seems a likely outcome, since he’s a long shot for the NBA. Neither Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress nor Chad Ford of ESPN.com ranks him among their voluminous prospect lists.
Johnson had a bounceback season after regressing as a sophomore, averaging 11.3 points per game as he became a double-digit scorer for the first time at the college level. The Michigan native twice scored 20 or more points this season, including a 25-point outing against eventual NCAA Tournament team Colorado on February 11th. He shot only 2 for 11 in a rematch against Colorado in the conference tournament, however.
Washington State went 9-22 and finished the season on a 17-game losing streak. Johnson was one of only three Cougars to average more than 7.9 points per game.
Malik Newman To Enter Draft
Mississippi State combo guard Malik Newman will enter this year’s NBA draft, as a source told Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com and Newman’s father confirmed to Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com (Twitter links). The freshman is the 46th-best prospect in Jonathan Givony’s DraftExpress rankings and No. 55 with Chad Ford of ESPN.com, making him a second-round prospect. Newman won’t hire an agent, Rothstein hears, so he has until May 25th, 10 days after the end of the NBA draft combine, to withdraw and retain his college eligibility.
Newman was a top-flight prospect coming out of high school, ranking eighth in the final RSCI listing for 2015. His stock slipped this year, as he wasn’t a major scoring force for the Bulldogs, putting up only 11.3 points per game, even though he nailed 37.9% of his 3-point attempts. He isn’t an elite defender either, Ford writes in his profile, though the ESPN scribe is fond of his passing.
The 19-year-old’s best game this season was probably his 25-point outburst against in-state rival Mississippi on January 23rd. He didn’t have an outstanding team around him, as Mississippi State finished 14-17 and failed to qualify for postseason play.
Grizzlies Sign Ray McCallum To Second 10-Day
The Grizzlies have signed Ray McCallum to a second 10-day contract, the team announced. His first expired overnight. The move restores Memphis to a 17-man roster, meaning the club has received additional clearance from the league through the hardship provision to carry two more than the regular season 15-man maximum. However, Memphis has no immediate plans to re-sign Alex Stepheson, whose first 10-day contract also expired at the end of Monday, tweets Grizzlies sideline reporter Rob Fischer. The hardship exception they’d used to carry Stepheson as one of 18 players on Monday’s roster wasn’t renewed, according to Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal, who suggests it likely means Chris Andersen will return tonight from the left shoulder injury that’s kept him out for the last nine games (Twitter link)
The latest deal for McCallum, which costs $55,722, will cover four games, against the Lakers, Spurs (twice) and Nuggets. The third-year pro has seen plenty of action in Memphis, starting the last two games and averaging 8.5 points, 2.8 assists and 1.8 turnovers in 24.3 minutes per contest across six appearances overall. He’s canned nine of his 18 3-point attempts as he’s seen far more opportunity than he did with the Spurs, who had him for most of the season before waiving him to make room for Andre Miller. The Knicks reportedly considered signing him, but the Grizzlies instead scooped him up to deal with their many injury problems.
Nine Grizzlies were ailing at one point earlier this month, and six have some sort of injury at this point, including Andersen. Marc Gasol is out for the season with a broken foot, while Brandan Wright, P.J. Hairston, Jordan Adams and Mike Conley are also sidelined, according to the CBSSports.com injury log.
Teams can’t sign any player to more than two 10-day contracts per year, but only 13 days will be left in the season when McCallum’s latest pact expires. The Grizzlies only have 14 players signed through season’s end, so they have flexibility to retain McCallum if they choose.
Southwest Notes: Dwight, Holiday, Gentry, Spurs
The Rockets have one of the most analytically minded front offices, which has guided them to a perimeter-oriented approach, but Dwight Howard insists the inside-out game isn’t dead, as he tells Sam Amick of USA Today. “I feel like that’s a very successful way of playing. I know [the Rockets] have their opinions or whatever,” Howard said. “[But] for the rest of the season, I’m going to make it an effort just to do what they need me to do offensively and defensively, and not focus on what happened back in Orlando [and] what happened in L.A. [with the Lakers] and just put my mind to finishing this season on a real high note.”
Howard, who plans to opt out and become a free agent this summer, is unlikely to remain with the Rockets unless he doesn’t find a max offer or a promise of an increased role in the offense from another team, Amick believes, though Howard is cognizant of his reputation as someone who walks out on franchises and insisted to Amick that he’s worked to become a part of every NBA community he’s been in.

- Zach Lowe of ESPN.com suggests the Pelicans and Jazz held at least cursory trade talks involving Jrue Holiday, though the conversation went nowhere, Lowe writes, with New Orleans setting too high a price for the discussion to advance. Lowe suggests the same about Jeff Teague talks between the Jazz and Hawks, though previous reports indicated that Atlanta and Utah didn’t have contact on the Teague front. The ESPN scribe speculated about Holiday and the Jazz before last month’s trade deadline.
- It’s been a rough season for Alvin Gentry, but players around the league like him, writes Sean Deveney of The Sporting News, who counts it as a plus for the Pelicans‘ recruitment of free agents. The key will be matching free agents with Gentry’s system and vice-versa, contends Deveney, who wonders about the job security of GM Dell Demps.
- NBA executives flocked to the wisdom of Kirk Goldsberry, who turned an expertise in mapping into a career as a journalist covering NBA advanced metrics, but now the Spurs have his information to themselves, as Buck Harvey of the San Antonio Express-News details. The team hired him earlier this month as its new vice president of strategic research.
Eastern Notes: Jackson, LeBron, Bazemore
Team president Phil Jackson won’t be coaching the Knicks in any fashion next season, as he told confidant Charley Rosen, who in turn told Marc Berman of the New York Post. There was talk that Jackson might coach at home and let Kurt Rambis coach on the road next season, as Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com reported last week. Even though the 70-year-old has lost weight and has more energy than usual, as Shelburne also wrote, coaching would be too physically demanding for Jackson, a league source told Berman. Carmelo Anthony didn’t seem too keen on the idea of the Zen Master coaching, leading Frank Isola of the New York Daily News to wonder if ‘Melo spiked the idea (Twitter link).

- The Cavaliers weren’t exactly comfortable with LeBron James‘ unexplained decision to unfollow their official Twitter account Monday, but a source who spoke with Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com said James told him he unfollowed the Cavs, among others, so that he could start to narrow his focus in advance of the playoffs. That still leaves several questions unanswered, as Vardon explores, pointing out that James skipped a media session Monday for the first time since he returned to Cleveland, barring occasions when he was sick or wasn’t playing. A healthy James posted a triple-double against the Nuggets on Monday night.
- Kent Bazemore is a lock to get overpaid this summer when he hits free agency, contends Zach Lowe of ESPN.com. The question is whether it’ll be Atlanta footing the bloated bill, as Lowe examines amid a larger piece on the Hawks. The team could open nearly $20MM in cap room if it lets Bazemore walk, but the Hawks speak highly of the value of continuity, Lowe writes.
- The Bulls essentially spent five draft picks on Doug McDermott, considering the two first-rounders and a second-rounder they used to trade up for him and the two second-rounders they used to clear cap room in a related move, observes Mark Schanowski of CSN Chicago. The moves finally appear to be paying off, and it’s conceivable the team will use McDermott as a starter as soon as next season, Schanowski writes.
Chandler Parsons Likely Out For Season
Chandler Parsons will likely have season-ending surgery this week on a torn meniscus in his right knee, sources told Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas.com. He’ll receive a second opinion before undergoing the procedure, but even if he does go under the knife, he’s expected to be healthy enough to engage in his normal offseason workout regimen, according to MacMahon. Parsons is still expected to opt out and hit free agency this summer, with the Mavericks the favorites to re-sign him, MacMahon writes.
This would be the second year in a row that Parsons’ season ends prematurely because of his right knee, though the injury this time isn’t as severe as the one that required microfracture surgery last spring, MacMahon hears. Parsons, 27, left Friday’s game early with what the Mavs called a sore right hamstring. He sat out Sunday’s game, and an MRI revealed Monday that the torn meniscus was causing the hamstring pain, sources told MacMahon.
The loss of Parsons for the stretch run is a crushing blow to the Mavericks, who are just one game up on the Jazz for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The versatile forward was averaging 17.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game with 44.7% 3-point shooting in 14 games since the All-Star break, in the midst of what MacMahon calls the best stretch of his career. It’s much too late for Dallas to reap a disabled player exception, and even with Jeremy Evans also done for the season, the Mavs don’t have enough injuries to qualify for a hardship provision.
The Magic have been primed for an aggressive run at Parsons in free agency this summer, and they loom as his top non-Dallas choice, as MacMahon previously reported. Sources who spoke with the ESPN scribe expected the Heat, Lakers, Nets, Knicks, Trail Blazers, Rockets, Nuggets and perhaps Thunder to also give chase, though it’s unclear how the injury affects their interest or the way Orlando views him. However, the Mavs are expected to be just as determined to re-sign him despite the renewed knee trouble, MacMahon tweets, reiterating in his story that Parsons is expected to receive max offers.

2016 NBA Draft Early Entrants List
The college season ends two weeks from tonight, leaving the top American early-entry candidates for the NBA draft to face decisions about whether to turn pro. This year, that choice will be significantly easier, or at least more well-informed, because of NCAA rules changes that allow underclassmen to once more “test the waters.”
Players can declare for the draft until April 24th and withdraw any time until May 25th while maintaining their NCAA eligibility, as long as they don’t hire agents. Thus, the prospects can take part in the NBA draft combine from May 11th-15th, if invited, and they can work out for individual teams starting in late April. The NCAA withdrawal date came prior to the combine and workouts in the past few years, so when underclassmen entered the draft, it almost always meant they were there to stay and wouldn’t return to college ball. That’s different this year, when several are expected to gauge their stock as they go through the combine and workout experience and head back to college unless the feedback they get is particularly favorable.
So, the group of eligible draftees figures to change significantly between now and the end of May. It’ll undergo another set of adjustments on June 13th, the final day for international prospects and other non-NCAA players to withdraw. That’s 10 days before the June 23rd draft.
In the meantime, we’ll use this post to keep track of reports on prospects and their decisions. We’ll archive them all in a running list here, which will be accessible anytime under “Hoops Rumors Features” on the right sidebar.
The players below are in alphabetical order. Click on each name for a report about his decision to enter the draft.
