<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The starter whose return is tentatively pencilled in is two-time WAC player of the year Nick Fazekas, who said after the Montana game he will decide whether to declare for the NBA draft. His father, Joe Fazekas, said the process to determine whether to declare could take a while. Underclassmen must declare for the June 26 draft by May 13. If the underclassmen don't hire an agent they can withdraw until June 23 and return to their college teams. Before the 2004 draft, former Pack star Kirk Snyder, who was drafted in the first round by the Utah Jazz, hired an agent. The elder Fazekas said Monday his son has no immediate plans to hire an agent. "He wants to preserve his eligibility until he has a sure deal," Joe Fazekas said. He said that his son wants to be assured by multiple teams that he will be drafted in the 30-player first round. "If we can't get somebody to say that, we'll come back," said the player's father. The elder Fazekas said he has been told his son could be a lottery pick, but added, "I would say he's probably between 20 and 30. I would think he is, but maybe he's not." Fazekas will wind his way through the NBA draft process, but the Pack can count on the return of starters Marcelus Kemp and Kyle Shiloh on the wings, Ramon Sessions at the point and Demarshay Johnson at center. Kemp had a brilliant performance in the Montana game, hitting 14-of-22 shots from the field, including 3-of-7 from 3-point range, and finished with a career-high 34 points. The Pack was able to overcome, to a large extent, a key injury suffered by Sessions, who was the WAC freshman of the year in the 2004-05 season. For nearly half of the 2005-06 season, Sessions was limited by a hip flexor strain. "I wasn't sure he was quite ever in a groove," Fox said. "He never got quite back to what he was as a freshman, as a scorer, but he got the other parts of his game going, He kept plugging away." Backup point guard Lyndale Burleson, who was in the Pack's eight-man rotation, and backup power forward David Ellis, who missed 10 games with a broken hand but still appeared in 20 games, also return. Others expected to come back are wing player Denis Ikovlev and guard Curry Lynch.</div> Source
