COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina junior Dominique Archie
says he'll declare for the NBA draft but expects to return for his
senior season.
Archie said Wednesday he won't hire an agent, meaning he can
pull out by the June 15 deadline and go back to school.
Archie says South Carolina coach Darrin Horn supported him going
through the process of pre-draft workouts to gain feedback on his
future as a pro.
Archie averaged 10.9 points and 6.4 rebounds per game his junior
season.
Archie joins teammate Devan Downey in entering the draft. Downey
has also said he won't hire an agent, leaving open the chance of
returning to school.
