Virginia Tech's Delaney to Test Draft Waters

Excerpt from The Washington Post:

Virginia Tech guard Malcolm Delaney on Wednesday declared for the NBA draft but will not hire an agent and is eligible to return to play for the Hokies next season if he removes his name at a later date.

"It has always been my dream to play in the NBA and I believe this will give me the opportunity to learn more about the process," Delaney, a junior, said in a statement. "I will be able to get feedback from various people, including NBA scouts and NBA general managers and get my name out there."

In a statement, Virginia Tech Coach Seth Greenberg said of Delaney's decision: "His dream has always been to play at the next level, and this experience will give him a better understanding of where he stains in relation to fulfilling that dream. At the end of the process, he will evaluate what is in his best interest as he peruses his goals."
