This is not what Bob Nash needed to hear

It's a weak draft in the NBA this season (isn't that the way it always seems to be?) and Roderick Flemings has both the skill and athletic ability to land on an NBA roster so...we shall see. It seems to us that he's more a wing than a 2 guard in the NBA and that (but aren't they all) is a tough position to handle defensively in the pros. Now Flemings does have a history of never staying too long in one place but who knows if such will be a factor in this decision. Brian McInnis has the scoop.

Hawaii junior forward Roderick Flemings said yesterday he intends to declare himself for early entry in the 2009 NBA Draft field.

As long as Flemings doesn't hire an agent -- and the 6-foot-7 swingman said he had no plans to -- he is eligible to return for his senior year in Manoa if he withdraws his name before the June 25 draft.

"If I'm not (rated high enough) I can just come back and work on my game some more at Hawaii," Flemings said. "So just put my name in there and see where I'm at. Trying to keep my options open..."
