You can tell he's ready for the NBA in his live news conference. He's got two earrings on that look to each be about 10-carat diamonds.

He is ready in every physical and skill aspect...but his attitude will kill him.
Disagree. Physically ready, yes. Talented enough, no way. I would draft him in the 4th round if they had one. Someone will be stupid and pick him in the late first, I bet. I hate his game and I hate his attitude. Scouts don't even really give him much props on his "explosiveness." He's strong. He's got that going for him.

The school scheduled a news conference for players Sean May, Raymond Felton and Marvin Williams to announce their plans for next season. Guard Rashad McCants already has declared for the NBA draft, and Jawad Williams, Jackie Manuel and Melvin Scott completed their eligibility.

If May, Felton and Marvin Williams join McCants in leaving early, the national champ Tar Heels will lose their top seven scorers from this past season.

May was adamant immediately after the season that he would be back, but he has backed off a bit recently. He was magnificent during the NCAA tournament, averaging 22.3 points and 10.7 rebounds while shooting 67 percent.

Felton, a speedy point guard who scored 13 points per game, made his decision last week but wanted to wait to announce it.

``It was difficult, but I think it's what's best for me,'' Felton said then. ``It's something I wanted.''

Chris Monter, who publishes an NBA draft newsletter and also edits a Web site devoted to college basketball, lists Felton third among point guards, behind Wake Forest's Chris Paul and Illinois' Deron Williams.

Marvin Williams never started as a freshman for North Carolina and averaged 11 points in a reserve role. He likely would have been a lottery pick had he entered the NBA right out of high school, and a few mock drafts on the Internet have him listed as the No. 2 selection, after Utah's Andrew Bogut.

``I would think he's going to be a top-five pick, you kind of wonder if he would really want to come back after winning a national title, particularly if the others leave,'' Monter said.

Gone indeed. Let the rebuilding begin... Just stay away from our boys, Roy :biggrin:

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Despite losing just three scholarship seniors to graduation, “REPEAT” will not be a slogan tied to recently crowned NCAA champ North Carolina. Talented underclassmen Raymond Felton, Sean May and Marvin Williams announced on Friday they will join Rashad McCants by skipping their final year(s) of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2005 NBA Draft.
