    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Roberson said he planned on making his decision whether to hire an agent "some time in June," implying it would likely be after the Chicago workouts, which are scheduled from June 7-11. Players have until June 21 to decide whether to declare for the June 28 draft.
    Roberson, who is working out alone in Atlanta, has no individual workouts with teams currently scheduled. He is encouraged by the feedback he is getting, despite some projections that have him at best a late second round draft pick.
    The 6-foot-1 Roberson, a two-time All-SEC first-team point guard, averaged 17.5 points, second in the league behind Alabama forward Kennedy Winston.
    "I think doors are opening for me," Roberson said. "A lot can happen in the workouts."
    Florida junior guard Matt Walsh declined an invitation to Chicago three days ago. Walsh has individual workouts with three undisclosed teams scheduled for next week.
    "He's decided to go the individual workout route," said Walsh's father, Mike.
    Walsh has been working out this spring at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, matching up with draft prospects such as Providence forward Ryan Gomes and Memphis forward Sean Banks.
    Former senior Florida forward David Lee had a strong week of workouts with the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors. Lee has moved up from an early-second round pick to a late first-round pick in some projections.
    Last week, Lee worked out for the New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics with favorable reviews. Lee was matched with SEC rival Lawrence Roberts in his workout with the Nets.
    "He was in good shape, played well," Nets General Manager Ed Stefanski said. "He looked relaxed and confident out </div>

    Walsh didnt decline an invitation to Chicago. He wasn't invited. Never made the final cut list. That much I can tell you for fact.

    The best thing for both Roberson and Walsh to do is come back to college and try and increase their stock for next season's draft. It's obvious that either one will probably not be a first round pick, but will most likely get drafted in the late second round.
