Gordon entering NBA draft,Hodge staying for last year

University of Connecticut guard Ben Gordon told ESPN.com that he will enter the NBA draft in June instead of staying with the national champion Huskies for his senior year.

Gordon led his team in points with a 18.5 per game average and averaged 21.2 in the NCAA tournament. He is expected to be a top-10 draft pick.

N.C. State's leading scorer, on the other hand, has decided to remain with the Wolfpack for his senior year.

Julius Hodge, the ACC Player of the Year, initially announced that he would enter the draft in June but then laughed and said he was just joking. He made his decision after going to visit and discuss the choice with his family.

Hodge led his team in scoring, field goal percentage, steals and assists.
