Just three days after losing to Memphis in the NCAA Tournament semifinals, UCLA's Kevin Love and Darren Collison are reportedly entering the NBA Draft.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday that Kevin Love and Darren Collison have both decided to make themselves available for June's NBA draft. Citing sources close to the players, the newspaper said that Love and Collison told coach Ben Howland of their decisions in separate meetings.

The newspaper reported that the two will hire agents, making them ineligible to return to the Bruins next season.


According to NBADraft.net, Love is projected to go in the back end of the lottery (in the 10-15 range), while Collison is around the #20 slot. Many people, including bloggers here at FanHouse, have speculated about what kind of career Love will have in the NBA. Some feel he could be a long-time starter ... while others feel he'll be a bust.

Interestingly, they have Russell Westbrook at the #9 pick ... and he hasn't declared for the draft. Yet.
