@WojYahooNBA: Michigan junior Tim Hardaway Jr., will enter the NBA draft, sources tell Y! Sports.

Best of luck to him.

Nowadays, most seniors are the 2nd rate players that weren't good enough to leave early... Doubt a guy just being a senior puts fear into NBA scouts. You'd think THJr could possibly benefit from a Sr season especially since his draft stock has 'peaked' as a 2nd rounder. Good Luck anyway.

I'll just point to my post in the first announce thread. Not ready, IMHO, but THANK YOU TIMMY & GOOD LUCK! Prove me wrong.

Best of luck to him. This was probably the best time for him to go, anyway. I hope a team makes a grab on him in the first round, but he seems more like a second round guy. Just plagued too much by inconsistency.

Losing him will hurt, but with all the experience LeVert got this year, I'm confident he's ready to step up and fill Hardaway's shoes.

Represents your university with class, works hard, and plays an undebatable part in elevating the program such that we all got the privilege of enjoying a run to the Final Four, there is one acceptable response to his announcement that he's leaving:

Good luck.

Any other response indicates you're an asshole.

IMO a strong case could be made that coming back would not have been in THJ's best interest and Burke leaving was pretty much a no-brainer (again IMO). I had already started to become comfortable with the thought that these two would go pro. But now I feel like we have made it past the two "obvious" losses and now it is crunch time. The time to start the selfish sweating and waiting to hear from the other two. The time where I am going to be pretty upset and depressed if GRIII and/or Mitch leave. I know they have to do what they need to do but I also had too much fun watching this team achieve great things and don't want that to totally go away next year. I admit I am selfish....I want what I want. I am going to prepare my spot on the ledge now...

Not a perfect player, but he was damn good and improved into an all-aronnd threat. Our first player with real "star" potential. Loved his emotion on the court and he wore the Block M with pride.

We lose 3 years experience, great leadership, etc. We gain a 5 star SG/SF with "unstoppable" offensive skills, and sky's the limit potential. Here's hoping THJ represents in the NBA. He sure leaves a great legacy!
