Projected Lottery Pick Jan Vesely Withdraws From 2010 NBA Draft

The 2010 NBA Draft was shaping up to be one of the deepest in years, with nearly every key underclassmen in college deciding to leave school early. However, the top of the draft got a little shorter yesterday, as European star Jan Vesely told Draft Express that he’s pulling his name out of the draft.

Vesely was listed as the 10th pick in Draft Express’ latest mock draft, and had been at that position since the beginning of April. He’s a 20-year old player that currently plays for Partizan Belgrade of the Adriatic League, and is projected to be a small forward in the NBA.
