    Arkansas coach Stan Heath had said that Famutimi would have to score a spot at the Chicago camp to have a chance at playing professionally after the junior entered his name in the NBA Draft last month.

    "If you're Famutimi, I don't think your time is now," said NBA consultant Chris Ekstrand, who helped put together the Chicago roster. "The Chicago list is just about finalized, and I don't think I'm breaking any taboos telling you he's not on it.
