Head Coach Dana Altman announced early Tuesday afternoon that Freshman Troy Brown will look to start his professional career and make the jump into the NBA Draft. Roughly an hour after, Sophomore Keith Smith announced he will also look to play elsewhere.
It has been a rough two seasons for Smith, who has been primarily a bench player for the Oregon Ducks. Injuries have hurt his development. He averaged 2 points and just under 2 rebounds per game last season for the Ducks. He did find his way into the lineup as a Defensive replacement at key times during the last two seasons.
