BYU's Fredette declares without agent

BYU junior guard Jimmer Fredette officially declared for the 2010 NBA Draft on Monday.

However, Fredette has not hired an agent, meaning that he can maintain his amateur status and college eligibility if he decides to return to BYU. The all-Mountain West Conference guard has until May 8 to decide whether to remain in the draft or return for his senior season.

"I've decided to put my name in the draft to explore my options with the NBA at this time," Fredette said. "I'm not hiring an agent to give me the opportunity to come back to BYU. I'm excited for this opportunity to see how I compare with the best players in the nation and to gain feedback on how I can improve as a basketball player."
