Lake Clifton grad Josh Selby to declare for draft
The college career of former Lake Clifton star Josh Selby has come to an end.
Selby, the 2010 Baltimore Sun Male Athlete of the Year, has left Kansas and will declare for the NBA draft, according to TheShiver.com.
Selby averaged 7.9 points and 2.2 assists for the Jayhawks. The former Laker sat out the first nine games of his freshman season while the NCAA sorted through his eligibility issues. Later in the season Selby labored through a foot injury. He has reportedly been working out in Las Vegas in preparation for the draft.
At The Sun's Athlete of the Year banquet last June, Selby said that he hoped to spend just one season in Lawrence, Kan., before turning pro.
“When I get there, I just hope that I get one and done – I ain’t gonna lie," Selby said. "I hope that they mature me on and off the court, make me a better man and make me a better player.”

John Carroll to DeMatha to Lake Clifton.....eligibility issues 1st semester and the 6 months at Kansas (most sitting on the bench).
Can't say I'm surprised but boy is he dumb. He will NOT be a 1st round pick, thus meaning he will not be given a guaranteed contract. Lance Stephenson, part deaux!

Another kid, left to the vultures. Must be about making a quick buck. Too stupid, with no wise parental advice to guide his decisions. Josh, you are fool to flush down a golden opportunity. You will be remembered as another BMOR star who never got to reach his full potential. Thanks for not going to Maryland, at least.

Why not? He's been a pro since DeMatha.

One and done is every kid's dream, that speaks volumes.
