LSU freshman forward Trendon Watford has declared for the N-B-A draft, but he will not hire an agent so he can retain his college eligibility as he goes through the evaluation process. NBA Draft-net rates Watford as the 78th overall prospect and only 60 players are drafted. The Alabama native averaged 14 points and seven rebounds per game as a freshman.

But when they do, a 25-day ramp-up period would consist of eleven days of individual workouts and then two weeks of full-team drills.
