Center Trent Plaisted has officially signed with agent for the NBA Draft and therefore will not be eligible to return to BYU for his senior season. Plaisted entered the draft without an agent last month. The 6-11 junior was second on the team with 15.6 PPG and first with 7.7 RPG. Plaisted is currently projected as a late first to early second round selection.In Plaisted's case, he might as well give the draft a shot. At BYU, Plaisted wouldn't have seen tremendous team success and his numbers probably wouldn't have increased. He proved that he was a consistent 15 and 7 forward/center in the Mountain West, so his stock wouldn't have improved that much after his senior year. Plaisted is appealing at the next level because he is a quick and athletic big man that gets most of his points around the rim. He still needs to improve on his low post defense and his shot blocking.
