    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">C.J. Miles has plans for the weekend. He's going to become a professional basketball player.
    Miles, the 18-year-old shooting guard from Skyline High in Dallas, was taken by the Jazz with the 34th pick in last week's NBA draft.
    Because he had not hired an agent, Miles had the post-draft option of signing with the Jazz or enrolling at the University of Texas.
    On Thursday, his option of playing for the Longhorns ended when Miles signed with New York-based agent Billy Ceisler, who also represents the Chicago Bulls' Ben Gordon and Toronto rookie Charlie Villanueva.
    Miles and Ceisler are planning to fly to Salt Lake City on Saturday and finalize a contract with the Jazz on Sunday.
    Miles and the rest of the players on the Jazz's Rocky Mountain Revue team will begin practice Monday for the summer league opener a week from tonight.</div>

    With the NBDL and expanded rosters, he'll at least have a shot to play in the NBA, but it's still a questionable decision for him.
