    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the success of the GW men's basketball team comes recognition and for GW basketball fans, it may bring anxiety. Junior Danilo (J.R.) Pinnock will declare for the NBA Draft, the guard told The Hatchet Thursday afternoon.

    Pinnock will file paperwork with the NBA that will make him eligible to participate in workouts with teams and play in the NBA-sponsored pre-draft camp in Orlando, Fla., from June 6-10.

    The Georgia native said he will not hire an agent and intends to return to GW for his senior year.

    "I am a Colonial," Pinnock said Thursday. "I'm going to test the waters and see what happens but I intend to be back in the fall."

    GW head men's basketball coach Karl Hobbs said he supports Pinnock's decision to enter the draft and added that NBA scouts have told him positive things about Pinnock's play.

    In light of draft impropriety leveled against senior Pops Mensah-Bonsu at the beginning of this season, Pinnock said he plans be overly cautious with following the rules that would allow him to return to GW next season.</div>

    If you declare and don't sign an agent, is there like a date where you have to decide to drop out and go back to college? Like a week or two before the draft?

    I didnt think JR would enter the draft, but its never bad to test the waters as long as you dont lose your eligibility
