Final NBA Draft Early Entry List Oddly Devoid of Big East Players

Chad Ford - a guy Darko Milicic owes millions and millions of dollars - has a list of the official list of NBA early entries up over at ESPN.  Big Derrick Caracter will be moving on, but fellow Louisville standouts  Terrence Williams and Earl Clark will have the Cardinals poised for another Elite Eight run, or better, in 2009.  Also sticking around is UConn big man Hasheem Thabeet.  While that's bad for teams in the Big East, I think it's great for Thabeet and the NBA, as he definitely needs another year of Calhoun polish before moving onto the big leagues.

Marquette's Jerel McNeal, Syracuse's Donte Green and West Virginia's official hoops dreamboat Joe Alexander have also declared, but not hired agents.  I have no idea whether they might be back or not, although I would think next year's draft would have to be weaker than this year's, but a lot of people said that about twelve months ago.
