    Jerryd Bayless Declares for NBA Draft

    Filed under: Arizona Basketball, Pac-10 Basketball, NBA Draft, NBA Prospects, Breaking News Arizona guard Jerryd Bayless, who led the Wildcats in scoring and made several All-American teams, will declare for the NBA Draft. The likely high-lottery pick has hired an agent and will therefore lose his remaining three years of eligibility. Bayless leaves Tucson without having played for Lute Olson, the coach who recruited him to Point Guard U. This isn’t too much of a surprise for anyone who watched Bayless this season. He’s able to get into the paint at will, has one of the ideal pull-up jumpers in the nation, and has the skills to excel at point guard at the next level. Both DraftExpress.com and NBADraft.net have him as a Top 5 pick, and it’s hard to believe that his workouts would drop him much lower than that. The Wildcats will obviously miss Bayless’s presence in Tucson, but the arrival of freshman point guard (and flat-top enthusiast) Brandon Jennings should offset some of the damage. The real issue here will come if Bayless’s decision opens the floodgates in Arizona. Both Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill would go in the first round of the draft, so it’s possible that they would declare before the deadline. Those three players carried Arizona this season and would be sorely missed. If Budinger and Hill return, then the Wildcats should be one of the ideal teams in the Pac-10 next year.
