Tennessee junior Scotty Hopson said Saturday he's leaving his name in the NBA draft pool. Hopson worked out at the New Jersey Nets training facility on Saturday, and sent a text message to the News Sentinel confirming that he will not return to the Vols for his senior season. "He decided he's staying in the draft," said Larry Marshall, who's serving as Hopson's advisor and trainer. "He had a pretty decent workout. He had conversations with general managers of a few teams and they expressed interest in him. He got a good vibe." GoVolsXtra.com

New Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin, who played briefly in the NBA before pursuing his coaching career, said he enjoyed getting to know Harris as he went through individual workouts at Tennessee in April. "First of all, Tobias is a wonderful young man. He had a great freshman season, but more importantly he also conducts himself in all the right ways off the court. There's no doubt he'll be successful," Harris said. "He'll always be a Tennessee Volunteer, and just like every other former player, we're always here for him. He's part of the family." His teammate, junior guard Scotty Hopson, is also expected to remain in the NBA draft. The deadline for players to decide whether to remain in the draft or return to school is Sunday. ESPN.com

Tennessee All-SEC shooting guard Scotty Hopson is heading into his NBA workout this weekend believing he's a first-round draft pick, according to his advisor, Larry Marshall. "I said, 'Scotty, what do you think?' " Marshall said Wednesday night. "He believes he's a solid first-round guy. If he thought he was a second-rounder, he should go back to school.'' The Tennessean

Tennessee men's basketball players Tobias Harris and Scotty Hopson have submitted paperwork to make themselves eligible for the NBA draft, UT associate sports information director Tom Satkowiak confirmed Monday. New Vols Coach Cuonzo Martin said Monday he wasn't surprised by the players' decisions. Both had indicated since the end of the season that they planned to test the NBA draft waters. The deadline for underclassmen to enter the draft was 11:59 p.m. Sunday. The Tennessean

Overall, Hopson is still a bit of an enigma. For every game he has like the one at Pittsburgh where he put up 27 points on 10 of 13 shots in a win against a top 5 team, he has another like the 1 for 7 performance against Oakland in a loss. While there is no denying his talent and upside, and it's clear that he's made improvements in certain areas, there will likely be mixed opinions on whether or not he'll ever be able to put all of his tools and skills together to be an efficient contributor at the NBA level, as he tends to coast far more than scouts would like to see. With that said, Hopson is clearly an NBA caliber athlete with a skill set that has room for improvement. His draft stock is still pretty much all over the board, but if he continues to grow throughout the season and can string together more good games on a consistent basis, he won't have to wait long to hear his name called this June.
