Archie decides to test NBA waters

The move isn't really a surprise. I suspect that Archie wants to do the same thing as teammate Devan Downey -- talk to some scouts, get some feedback, attend some NBA workout camps where he can find out exactly what he needs to do to get ready for the next level.
Like Downey, he's not on many NBA mock drafts or prospects lists -- as a matter of fact, in a quick perusal of 10 such opinions, I couldn't find his name.
But the names can change an awful lot between now and June 15, the deadline for withdrawing a name.
We'll keep you posted.

According to radio and published reports, South Carolina forward Dominique Archie has entered his name in the NBA Draft but has not hired an agent. I'm trying to confirm it as we speak.
