AUSTIN, Texas -- Wooden Award winner T.J. Ford said he's unsure if he'll continue his basketball career with Texas or move on to the NBA draft. "It's a possibility," the sophomore point guard said after the team basketball banquet Monday night. "I haven't had time to think about it. I haven't had time to sit down with my coaches." Ford has until May 12 to submit his name for early entry into the NBA draft. Saturday, he won the John R. Wooden Award, his second major college basketball player of the year honor. Ford, who also won the Naismith Award last month, led Texas to its first Final Four appearance since 1947. He led the Longhorns with averages of 15 points, 7.7 assists and 2.0 steals. "Right now I am still part of this Texas basketball team and still part of this university. I'm still here," said Ford, the first Texas player to win both the Wooden and Naismith awards. "Until I make a decision, I'm still at the University of Texas." |
