VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Villanova point guard Kyle Lowry will remain in the NBA draft and forego his final two years of eligibility.


The sophomore had until June 18 to withdraw from the draft, which will be held June 28.


"My lifelong dream has been to become an NBA player and, after going through this process, I believe now is the time to take advantage of a great opportunity," Lowry said in a statement released by the school Friday.


The quick 6-foot guard ranked third on the Wildcats in scoring (11 points per game) and rebounding (4.3) this season. He led the team in assists (3.7), and topped the Big East with 2.3 steals per game.


"Kyle has worked hard athletically and academically to give himself great options," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "Everyone at Villanova supports his decision. We all look forward to following Kyle's NBA career."


In the statement, Lowry said he will continue to work toward his goal of getting his degree from Villanova.

1 can only hope Isiah was smart enough to promise him the 20 if he is still there.

There are only so many minutes to go around at guard.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

On this team, I think you mean "sit and watch veterans with bad habits"

Hey, I love Lowry. He is intense and plays great defense. He can handle the ball. Can't shoot great but supposedly was a bigtime scorer in high school so who knows. And had that big game in the NCAA's two years ago with over 30 points. He would definitely be a player within 3 years.

Lowry is among some of the interesting options at 20. Farmar, Rondo, Diaz and Fernandez all have the potential to be very good players as well. All of these guys have shown talent but its the potential/dedication to improve that separates these guys - its important to take the guy who is most invested in being the best.

Wrong. Skill-wise Lowry is superior, Nate is better athletically but also 5 inches smaller.

He's more 2G than PG if you have ever seen him play. He's very good at dribble drive penetration---but I have seen teams adjust to him, negating his quickness and exposing his size. Charlie Ward was a big physical player. Lowry is tough, but I just dont like ths size there since we already have nate. I want to see Lowry guard Jason Kidd in the halfcourt. Im not saying Lowry doesnt have NBA abilities, but I donmt6 think hes the right fit here. Also, he has already had a full ACL tear in HS. Whatever happens happens--hopefully the stooges in Knick management can scre it up real bad--have LB gone and have 0 excuses left

I know we have a glut of guards like him, but this guy is a star in the making. I love his defenisve intensity as well. If he came out next year wasn't he projected to be a top 5 pick?? Nate is a nice player with good uspide, but is he automatically a keeper? I'd rather horde guys who can play and are intense than worry about position right now. We're not doing anything record wise next year anway. I think the #1 priority is to accumulate young talent. I'd love to get a athletic big man with great shot blocking potentlial (a la Sene, based on what I've read) and a swingman who can defend, but if there isn't that kind of player there then you go for the talent.

I'll just say this...

Remember the drafting of Wiess over Artest.

seen him plenty. way Nova ran their offense all you got to see was his penetration. Foye and Nardi both could make plays.

he is a good decision maker with the ball especially in transition. if he'd a stayed, could've got a better read minus Foye and Mike.

he still needs to develop but I don't doubt with good direction he can man the 1 full time in a couple years.

He is not Marcus Williams coming out but trading up for him right now is a pipe dream.

Rondo(over Lowery because of size)
Lowery
Farmar (interesting pospect at the point)

Remember Weiss over artest? You kidding me?

Knicks have 3 point guards. Some of you think craw is a point. So let's draft lowery at 20? Don't make sense.

If lowery is that good then we won't see him at 20. I think Nate is better than him. You guys are just defense whores. You hear the word defense said around this guy and all of a sudden he is Derek Harper on defense.

Now I like lowery but I don't think he is all that. Nate is better than him in all aspects of the game except defense.
