Aaron Afflalo may be making a Mistake

Junior Aaron Afflalo of UCLA has declared for the NBA draft. He also put his name in last year, but pulled out because he didn't like what he heard, so under NBA rules he will not have the opportunity to pull out this year. Afflalo lead the Bruins to consecutive Final Fours, and averaged 17 pts, 3 rebs, and 2 asts this year. Not exactly numbers that blow you away.

Afflalo is projected somewhere in the second round, or possibly even undrafted, although NBADraft.net (http://nbadraft.net) has him going late in the first. ESPN expert Chad Ford (http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=2832825&name=ford_chad) has more intelligent thoughts than me.
