Gerald Henderson puts his name into the draft

Posted On: April 27, 2009 By: Cliff Comments: (more)

The Duke Blue Devils will probably be without their best player next season as Gerald Henderson announced that he will be entering the NBA Draft but has not hire an agent at this time. However, it is expect that Henderson is shopping around for an agent and will end up signing with one.

“After a lot of thought and discussion with my family and the Duke coaching staff, I have decided to enter the NBA Draft,” said Henderson. “Playing in the NBA has been a goal of mine since a young age and I am thrilled to have the opportunity. My three years at Duke have been a tremendous learning experience and have helped me develop both as a person and as a player.”

I know as a Duke fan I would love to have Gerald back but his stock is so high right now and he more then likely will be a top 10 pick in the June 25th draft. It’s hard to turn down a guranteed contract like he will more than likely receive.

If Henderson chooses to come back for his Senior year, he will need to withdrawl his name before June 16th.

Whatever happens we wish you the best Gerald!

    He’s a goner. A guaranteed contract is hard to turn down, especially when a talent can be stolen with a sudden and serious injury.

    Well Henderson has signed with an agent and will not be in a Duke uniform next year. Now it will be interesting to see how much Elliot Williams can fill Henderson’s role.
