Calathes to Test Draft, Won't Hire Agent

Excerpt from Sports Illustrated:

Florida guard Nick Calathes announced Monday that he will enter the NBA draft. But he will not hire an agent, which would allow him to return to Florida if he's unhappy with his draft stock.

Florida coach Billy Donovan, who met with Calathes on Sunday night, hasn't said whether he thought his star player was ready for the next level.

"I don't think it's even about being ready," Donovan said last week. "It's not about that anymore. I think the one thing that people don't understand about the NBA is it's a league of investments. You're making an investment, and a lot of times you're making a long-term investment and hoping your investment gets better and better and better.
