Vasquez 'Absolutely' Undecided About Nba

Men's Basketball Maryland

May 14, 2009|By Jeff Barker , jeff.barker@baltsun.com

Vasquez is projected by many pundits as a second-round pick. But such draft forecasts can be imprecise. Vasquez potentially faces competition from a number of other Atlantic Coast Conference guards, including North Carolina's Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington, Duke's Gerald Henderson, Florida State's Toney Douglas and Wake Forest's Jeff Teague. Spain's Ricky Rubio, Arizona State's James Harden and Memphis' Tyreke Evans are among the top guard prospects nationally.

Vasquez's main assets are his size and ability to penetrate and rebound. He has struggled at times with his three-point shooting (32.7 percent for the season) and his defense.

Maryland coach Gary Williams was attending ACC meetings in Florida on Wednesday and did not immediately return a message left on his cell phone.

At those meetings, the ACC rejected a proposal to increase the number of conference basketball games from 16 to 18, maintaining schools' flexibility to schedule nonconference games, according to the Associated Press. The conference also voted to cap football travel squads at 72 players for league games, a cost-cutting measure.
