<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Texas basketball players P.J. Tucker and Daniel Gibson are expected to announce in the next 48 hours their intention to enter their names for the June NBA draft without hiring agents. Such a move would enable both to test their attractiveness without endangering their return for next season, if they so desire. Program and team sources have long expected Tucker, who will have a news conference this afternoon, to declare, though he is projected as a first-round pick in only a few mock drafts. Gibson has previously announced that he will return, but his father Byron said Monday that his son is ?leaning toward? declaring and that he felt it would be ?educational? for him to explore the process. Most observers feel that Gibson, more than Tucker, would benefit from another year at Texas, though Tucker?s mid-range game needs work. Players have until June 18 to withdraw their names without losing their college eligibility. Both players have met several times with Longhorns? coach Rick Barnes, who has collected information for the two to study. </div> link: http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/14417511.htm
