Syracuse could lose a trio of star players to the NBA Draft.
Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris plan to enter their names into the draft and hire agents, preventing them from coming back to school. Jonny Flynn will submit his name for the draft but won’t retain an agent. If he pulls out by June 15, 10 days before the draft, he would be able to return to the Orange next season.
“Obviously it will be a big loss for Syracuse,” said draft expert Chris Monter, editor of the Monter Draft News. “They had a big year this year. They had a classic game against Connecticut in the six-overtime game in the Big East Tournament and they made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. People looked at who they had coming in and who they had returning, a lot of people thought they could be an Elite Eight team or even better next year.”
