Kansas' Rush, Arthur Declare for NBA Draft

A little over one week removed from winning the NCAA National Championship in Men's basketball, Kansas' Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur have entered the NBA draft. National Championship game hero, Mario Chalmers, has yet to declare his intentions.

Rush's and Arthur's decisions hardly came as a surprise to Kansas coach Bill Self:

"We knew going into the season ... this particular day was coming," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "Brandon is at a point that it's time for him to move on and Shady [Arthur] owes it to himself to investigate. There's no surprises on what transpired today."

Memphis freshman point guard Derrick Rose declared for the draft earlier this week.

Say It Ain't So: O.J. Mayo to Enter NBA Draft

Here's some news that's certain to come as a shock to all: CBS Sports is reporting that USC freshman guard O.J. Mayo has decided to enter the NBA draft.

Mayo plans to hire an agent, which will eliminate the prospect of his return to college basketball.

According to CBS Sportsline's Gary Parrish:

"The freshman guard (Mayo) signaled his intentions by wearing socks with the NBA logo in USC's 80-67 loss to Kansas State in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Mayo, who some say never met a shot that he didn't take, averaged 20.7 points, and set USC records for points scored by a freshman (684) and for 3-pointers made in a season (88).

USC coach Tim Floyd told the AP:

"This comes as no surprise. We are appreciative of everything O.J. did for all of us the year he was with us. We wish him well. I have no doubt that he will be a great professional."
