<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHICAGO -- University of Kentucky center Randolph Morris said yesterday that he is leaning toward staying in the National Basketball Association draft. "The pros have been my dream for a long, long time, and the sooner I can get there, the better," he said. Morris, who played one season at UK, worked out for NBA scouts and coaches yesterday at the Lakeshore Athletic Club in Chicago along with former Duke guard Daniel Ewing, Arkansas guard Olu Famutimi and University of Louisville signee Amir Johnson. Morris said he thought a workout on a smaller scale might be better suited for him than playing in the league's Pre-Draft Camp, which runs through Friday at the Moody Bible Institute. Morris was invited to the camp but elected not to participate. While neither Morris nor his father, Ralph, ruled out the possibility of a return to UK next season, there was a definite lack of enthusiasm about that scenario, especially with Ralph Morris. Randolph has until June 21 to withdraw from the June 28 draft.</div> Source
