News from May 11.
 
Seattle exercised their option to receive the LA Clippers' 2nd round 
draft pick (#33).  The pick went from the LA Clippers to Philadelphia 
(James Cotton) to Detroit (Jerry Stackhouse) to Seattle (Eric Snow).

Al Harrington (high school senior, F, St. Patrick High School) and Mark
Miller (senior [with 1 year of eligibility left], G, Illinois-Chicago) 
declared themselves eligible for the NBA draft.  Sunday was the deadline 
for underclassmen to declare themselves eligible (players officially 
declare themselves eligible by mailing or faxing a letter to the NBA 
that renounces their college eligibility and the letter must have a 
postmark of May 10 or earlier).  The league will be releasing the full 
official list of underclassmen who declared later in the week.
