Memphis Tigers' Antonio Anderson and Robert Dozier have decided to join the other three members of Memphis' starting five by declaring for the NBA Draft. These will be the last two members of the runner-ups to go pro. However, Anderson and Dozier will put off signing an agent to keep their senior year of eligibility. Anderson averaged 8.7 PPG, 3.7 RPG and 3.4 APG, and Dozier averaged 9.2 PPG and 3.7 RPG. Dozier was primarily known for his defense during his three years at Memphis and many times was given the responsibility of guarding their opponents best offensive player. It is unlikely that either Anderson or Dozier will get drafted but both will get the opportunity to work out with NBA teams.
I doesn't make much sense to me that Anderson and Dozier would want to enter the NBA Draft knowing that they probably won't get drafted, but at least they will get some experience practicing with NBA teams. If they don't get drafted they can always come back and play their senior years for Memphis with future freshman, Tyreke Evans. If they do come back, both players should have better years because Derrick Rose, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Joey Dorsey will be gone. I suspect that Memphis will have another great year and will dominate Conference USA if Anderson and Dozier wind up no getting drafted.
