"Leading scorer Nick Young will forego his senior season at USC and declare for the NBA draft, according to sources. Young, the small forward who played at Cleveland High of Reseda, plans to make his official announcement on campus early next week. Young has yet to hire an agent but will do so soon, according to a source close to the player."

"The junior's stock rose during the NCAA Tournament last month, when he led the team in scoring in victories over Arkansas and Texas before the surprising Trojans fell to top-seeded North Carolina in the Sweet 16. In the weeks following the season, NBA personnel have indicated to Young that he would go between picks 10 and 25 in the first round depending on workouts, according to sources."
