Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

[John Wall] was awesome and he'll compete with Ed Davis and a few other freshmen for that. However, there is some buzz that Wall believes he might be eligible for THIS year's draft. I've been doing some digging and will be filing a story later today. The short rub is this: Wall is a 5th year senior and depending on how you read the collective bargaining agreement, 5th year seniors are eligible for the draft as long as the turn 19 in the calander year (Wall does). The league is taking a wait and see approach. If he declares, they'll research and make a ruling. If he does declare and is ruled eligible (two big ifs) he's a Top 5 pick in this draft. Maybe Top 3.

Taken from a Chad Ford chat. Does anyone have any insight to this situation?

Pretty...

much been shot down, I believe. Everything I’m reading indicates that he won’t even attempt it and will be in college next year.
