Donte Greene declares for the NBA draft.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse freshman forward Donte Greene has declared himself eligible for the NBA draft.
Greene says he made the decision after discussing his future with his family and coach Jim Boeheim.
He led the Orange in scoring at 17.7 points per game, fourth-best in the Big East. He also averaged 7.2 rebounds and led the team in blocks to earn All-Big East rookie team honors.
Boeheim was not available for comment.

Greene clearly will be an NBA player someday, and he may be good enough now, but I'd imagine there's too many college players coming out with better resumes. He's never even played one game in the NCAAs. He must be following Carmelos foot steps, without the national title, of course.
He could be just exploring the NBA's interest in him- nothing wrong with that. He needs to come back and make himself a household name.
