COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP)—Missouri starters DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons declared
for the NBA draft Thursday, though neither will hire an agent and could return
to school.
As long as they maintain their academic standing and withdraw their names by
June 16, both would be eligible to return.
Lyons was in and out of the starting lineup last season as a junior. He led
the Big 12 in field-goal percentage at 58.3 and had a team-high 13.1-point
average.
Carroll, who started 30 of 32 games as a junior, was the Big 12 Newcomer of
the Year after averaging 13 points and a team-high 6.7 rebounds. The Vanderbilt
transfer hurt an ankle in December, which hampered him the rest of the season.
