OU's Gallon Enters Name into Draft

Excerpt from Sports Network:

Oklahoma freshman forward Keith "Tiny" Gallon announced Tuesday that he will declare for the 2010 NBA Draft.

Gallon averaged 10.3 points and 7.9 rebounds for the Sooners last season in 30 games.

"I had a long conversation with my mom and then with (head coach Jeff) Capel, and I decided that this is the best thing for me at this time," Gallon said. "I've had a great experience at OU, but at the same time I'm excited about my possible future in the NBA."

Reports had surfaced in March surrounding an allegation that Gallon had accepted money from a sports agent. Gallon missed a game on February 13 when the team suspended him for what it called an "internal matter." Despite the accusation, nothing has ever been proven, and no sanctions have been handed out to the school.
