Let the underclassmen exodus to the NBA begin, Part II

As I predicted a couple of days ago, the number of underclassmen declaring for the NBA draft is steadily rising.
The latest two to declare: Memphis junior guard Chris Douglas-Roberts and UCLA forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.
CDR led Memphis in scoring at 18.1 points per game and made a name for himself during the Tigers run through the NCAA tournament. At 6′7″, Douglas-Roberts could easily play the 3 in the NBA. He can shoot from the outside and has a pretty decent post-up game.
Mbah a Moute is hoping to get drafted on his defensive abilities alone, which is pretty scary. He only averaged 8.8 points and 6 rebounds this year for the Bruins, who may get Mbah a Moute back as he is not going to hire an agent.
