It's been a long basketball road for Robert Carter Jr., the No. 27 recruit in the class of 2012, who will finish his fourth year of college in May after spending two with Georgia Tech and two with Maryland. He sat out last season from basketball per NCAA rules and has one year of eligibility remaining.
The likely question for Carter isn't whether he will declare for the NBA Draft or not, because he along with almost anyone who's interested in joining the league has good reason to declare. That's because of the NCAA's new rule that allows players to participate in the combine and team workouts without losing their eligibility.
