Meyers Leonard, Brandon Paul test NBA draft waters

Illinois sophomore center Meyers Leonard and junior guard Brandon Paul have submitted their names to the NBA's undergraduate advisory committee to receive feedback on their draft stock, according to Illinois interim head coach Jerrance Howard.

Howard said the players would hear back from the committee sometime this week. College players have until April 8 to decide whether to enter the draft or remain in school.

Howard believes Leonard could leave Illinois early for the NBA, but it's unlikely for Paul.
