<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Tech point guard Javaris Crittenton says a lack of depth at the point guard position in the NBA draft reinforced his decision to turn pro after one season with the Yellow Jackets. Crittenton said Friday he is interviewing agents. "I'm just feeling like I'm prepared to play in the NBA right now, and looking at the number of point guards in the draft, I feel this is the right time," Crittenton said. Another Georgia Tech freshman, forward Thaddeus Young, has entered his name in the draft but has yet to hire an agent. He has until June 18 to withdraw. Crittenton made the decision to stay in the June 28 draft after meeting with his family and coach Paul Hewitt. The guard shared the team lead with an average of 14.4 points per game and ranked second in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 5.8 assists per game. When Crittenton declared for the draft, he was not ranked highly in mock drafts. Since then, he has climbed into the top half of the first round in several projections.</div> Source: Yahoo! Sports
