Auburn: Neither the NBA Nor Auburn



Neither the NBA Nor Auburn: Rising sophomore guard Toney Douglas will not remain eligible for the NBA Draft, withdrawing his name from the list of early entrants who could be drafted later this month. Douglas did not receive positive enough feedback from NBA scouts to forgo the remainder of this collegiate eligibility. But Douglas won’t return to Auburn, either. The Tigers released Douglas from his scholarship on the condition that he transfers to a school outside the SEC. In one season at Auburn, Douglas averaged 16.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. His dad said coach Jeff Lebo played Douglas out of position, however, because Douglas is better suited to play point guard, especially in the NBA. [6/14/05]
