Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
TUSCALOOSA, Ala., April 29 (UPI) -- Alabama junior forward Rod Grizzard announced Monday he will enter the NBA Draft.
The 6-8 Grizzard is a probable first-round draft pick, but has to make an impression in the Chicago pre-draft camp on June 6-8 to escalate to a possible lottery selection.
An athletic wing player, Grizzard averaged 14.3 points and 6.0 rebounds, but shot just 28 percent from 3-point range last season for the Crimson Tide.
The loss of Grizzard is a blow, but Alabama is expected to have junior forward Erwin Dudley, the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, return for his senior year.
Forward Gerald Wallace left Alabama after his freshman year in 2001 to enter the NBA Draft and was a first-round pick of the Sacramento Kings.
