Hawes declares for draft

Washington center Spencer Hawes declared his intentions to enter his name in the 2007 NBA draft, but will keep his options open. He will have until June 18th to pull out of the draft if he wants to play his sophomore year at Montlake, but all signs point to the former Seattle Prep star giving the NBA a full-go.

"After talking to my family, coaches and those close to me, I've decided that this year I'm going to enter my name into the draft without hiring an agent to preserve my eligibility to test the waters and see how things turn out," Hawes said at a press conference Thursday.

We will have more from the press conference later today.
