    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Andrew Bynum, the 7-foot center who once upon a time was bound for UConn, remains one of the X-factors in the NBA draft.

    Most NBA scouts and nearly all mock drafts have Bynum going late in the first round. But Bynum and his brother, Corey Thomas, have insisted recently that he would remain in the draft only if a spot among the top 10 picks was guaranteed.
    Thus, there is a huge gap between what most are expecting to happen Tuesday and what Bynum expects.

    But that gap may not mean that much.

    Thomas has said it's possible Bynum would attend UConn if draft night didn't work out as planned, but league rules make that unlikely.

    If Bynum is selected in the draft - and he almost certainly will be chosen in the first round - he would be bound to whichever team picks him until one year after his class graduates from college. There would be no advantage to going to college since he would be tied to that team at the salary levels currently in place.</div>
