Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan will explore possibility of leaving school for NBA

Boston College guard Olivier Hanlan, who is averaging 18.6ppg this season, will explore the possibility of leaving school early for the NBA, Boston Globe reports.

If he doesn’t sign with an agent, however, he would retain his eligibility.

And the departure of BC’s scoring leader (18.6 points per game) could trigger an exodus of several other players — including 6-2 sophomore guard Joe Rahon, a native of San Diego who averaged 9.0 points, and 6-8 junior forward Ryan Anderson, of Long Beach, Calif., who averaged 14.3 points and 7.1 rebounds — according to other team sources. Those sources indicated both Rahon and Anderson may be considering transferring to West Coast schools.
