EWU star Tyler Harvey seeks NBA draft
National scoring leader led Eagles to NCAA Tournament

Eastern Washington junior guard Tyler Harvey plans to make himself available for the NBA draft, The Spokesman-Review learned Wednesday morning.

A press conference is scheduled for today in Cheney at 11 a.m., but sources within the EWU athletic department have confirmed that Harvey has decided to pursue a pro career.

However, according to ESPN, Harvey has not hired an agent, which means he could still return to Cheney.

Harvey, a redshirt junior from Torrance, California, averaged 23.1 points a game and led the nation in made 3-point shots while leading the Eagles to a 26-9 record, the Big Sky Conference co-regular-season title and the school’s first NCAA appearance in 11 years.

Considered one of the best long-range shooters in the college ranks, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound Harvey is projected to be drafted in the second round of the NBA draft, which is scheduled for June 25 in New York.

Draft expert Chad Ford of ESPN describes Harvey has “one of the best shooter-scorers you’ll find, an absolutely lights-out marksman.” DraftExpress.com predicts Harvey will be the 46th pick (out of 60 in the two-round draft), but NBADraft.net predicts that he won’t be drafted.

Harvey would be on the second Eastern player to play in the NBA. Former EWU star Rodney Stuckey averaged 24.6 points as a redshirt sophomore at Eastern in 2006-7.
 
Got to hand it to EWU and Harvey. Announcing this on April Fool's Day is perfect. True or not, either way some group is fooled. If indeed this is true, the doubters saying this is an April Fools Day thing, will be fooled. If it is not true, then the people posting this will be fooled.

A++++ to Harvey and EWU for this one.
 
well espn is confirming it. gotta jump on the nba option while he has the chance. who knows what he would look like in another year. he shoots the rock A LOT. he doesn't have the speed for the NBA I dont think but he sure is a shooter.

His speed is adequate. His ability to create his own shots, create space, and quick release will help compensate for any physical liabilities.
 
He can shoot but I don't think he gets his stuff off against Harden or just about any other NBA point guard. Having said that, he has a better chance now of getting drafted than after people adjust to him next year and the film looks worse.

1/2 of Egriz could score on Harden, that dude doesn't play D...
 
Harvey made it official earlier today, he's NBA bound. Not signing an agent so there is a possibility he could come back to EWU, but looks like he is all in for the NBA.

Probably a 2nd round pick, but he is an elite scorer who can create his own shot, an NBA team will take a shot at him and if his individual workouts go well, he could get a shot near the end of the 1st. Definitely needs to bulk up and get better on D, probably plays the PG position at the next level so will be interesting. His stock is sky high right now so not sure what coming back next year would do to help him.

Harvey is a class act, hope he does well in the Pro's if he gets a shot...
 
He seems like a great kid actually. I bantered with him after the semi's this year. I hope he makes it but I guess I didn't feel like he had his skills polished enough for the NBA yet. Hope I'm wrong about that.

He didn't last year, but you should probably watch him this year. He's not just an MVP favorite this year because he's still scoring. Things do change.
