VILLANOVA, Pa., April 27 (UPI) -- Villanova guard Kyle Lowry Thursday became the latest under-classman to announce his decision to enter this year's NBA Draft.
Lowry, a 6-foot sophomore from Philadelphia, said he will not hire an agent, which leaves the door open for him to return for his junior season at the Big East school.
In the 2005-06 season, he averaged 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and a team-high 3.7 assists per contest, as the Wildcats compiled a 28-5 record. Lowry was second team all-Big East.
Villanova advanced to the Elite Eight before losing to eventual national champion Florida, and finished fifth in the final USA Today/ESPN coaches poll.
The list of other non-seniors who have made a similar decision includes Pittsburgh junior center Aaron Gray, Connecticut junior guard Marcus Williams, Michigan State junior guard Shannon Brown, junior guard P.J. Tucker of Texas and his teammate, sophomore forward LaMarcus Aldridge.
