86° M/SUNNY, Alonzo Gee declares availability for NBA Draft
Last Modified: Thursday, May 1, 2008 at 4:16 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | University of Alabama men’s basketball forward Alonzo Gee has joined two teammates in making himself available for this summer’s National Basketball Association Draft.
The 6-foot-6 forward from Riviera Beach, Fla., met the NBA’s April 27 deadline to test his status for the draft. He has not hired an agent and can retain his senior year of eligibility at UA by withdrawing from the process with written notice to the NBA by 5 p.m. ET on June 16.
Gee averaged 14.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game last season as a junior. Gee is joining UA teammates Richard Hendrix and Ronald Steele, who also declared themselves available for the NBA Draft in order to explore their standing with the pro league.
“Alonzo came to me and expressed his desire to explore the process, and I will assist him in any way possible,” UA head coach Mark Gottfried said.
