    Skyline graduate Calvin Miles Jr. remained in the NBA draft as the deadline to withdraw came and went Tuesday.

    Miles' father, Calvin Sr., said that the family officially decided to pursue the NBA after "we got some positive information from a few teams." The family expects Miles to be a mid- to late first-round pick. The draft is Tuesday at New York's Madison Square Garden.

    "The way it's looking right now, I'm going to be fine," said the younger Miles, who returned to Dallas on Tuesday after working out for the Utah Jazz. "It's an honor. All the hard work is paying off."

    Miles, a 6-6, 210-pound shooting guard, is poised to become the first North Texas player to make the jump from high school to the NBA. He could be the last. NBA owners and players agreed to implement an age limit for incoming players Tuesday. Normally, that age will be 19.

    Beginning with the 2006 draft, players must wait one year after their high school class graduates, meaning that players born in November or December could be appear in NBA games before their 19th birthday, if they graduated at 17. </div>

    The NBDL should be loaded with 'potential' this year.
