UCLA Backcourt Declares for NBA Draft

ESPN.com - Sophomore G Aaron Afflalo and Sophomore G Jordan Farmar have both declared for the draft but don't plan to hire agents.

Afflalo averaged 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 33.4 minutes a game.

Farmar averaged 13.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 30.4 minutes a game.

Farmar is more gifted offensively; Afflalo defensively.

This could be devastating to this team if they lose both guards. It would mean the loss of 3 starters, along with Senior Ryan Hollins. However, both guards will return if they don't like where they are going to be drafted. If they are looking for first round picks, they may both go. If they are looking to be near the middle of the round and not at the end, Afflalo will be back and perhaps Farmar. The draft has a lot of guards vying for 1st round selections.
