Ohio State men's basketball: D’Angelo Russell says he's headed to NBA

Ohio State freshman D’Angelo Russell did what long was expected of him today, announcing he will leave the Buckeyes after one season to enter the NBA draft.

The 6-foot-5 guard from Louisville, Ky., is projected to be among the first five picks in the draft, which is June 25 in New York. As a top-five pick, he would have a guaranteed salary of more than $3 million for each of his first two seasons.
