Greg Monroe Declares for Draft, Will Hire Agent

Excerpt from the Washington Post:

Georgetown's sophomore center Greg Monroe intends to declare himself eligible for the 2010 NBA draft, the player confirmed Saturday, bringing to an end his star turn for the Hoyas after two seasons.

The move comes roughly one month after the Hoyas' promising season ended with a stunning first-round loss to 14th-seeded Ohio in last month's NCAA tournament.

Asked in the immediate aftermath whether it was his last game for Georgetown, Monroe said it was not. But after time to reflect to and evaluate his options, the 6-11, 247-pound center, widely considered an NBA lottery pick, decided otherwise.
