Cummard has to withdraw his name from the draft by 6/16. If he does so, he can return to school. If not, he's stuck with whatever happens in the draft.

NBA draft rules.

1. If you enter the draft and do not hire an agent you have until June 16th to withdraw your name.

2. If you decide to stay in the draft but still do not hire an agent, if you are undrafted you may return to school. However, you will not be eligible to be drafted the next season, you can only enter the draft once. (This happened with Randolph Morris of Kentucky, he returned for his senior year, and then signed immediately after the season with the Knicks and he was eligible immediately)

3. If you enter the draft and hire an agent your eligibility is over.

This is correct. CJ Miles, currently with the Jazz, was a player in a similar situation. He was drafted and had the option to sign with the Jazz, or go to school at the University of Texas because he did not hire an agent. Had he gone to school, the Jazz would have owned his draft rights (I am not sure for how long) once he was done with his college career. He ended up coming straight to Utah though for the pay-day. It hasn't been awful for him, as he's made a nice sum of money, however I wonder how much further along his game would have been had he gone to Texas.

Nobody talked about CJ's monster dunk. But with the Jazz being so guard-heavy, I don't know what role he can have. Almond and Miles are standing on the outside looking in. Because they have no real substantial NBA experienc, they don't have much value. Their real value would be their small contracts.

The funny thing about the NBA is a larger expiring contract is worth more than a middle of the road type player. CJs dunk was very impressive, I am surprised more people didnt talk about it. I also thought Derons follow dunk (eventhough the whistle blew) was pretty sweet on the AK miss.

The rule changed after that. They must withdraw before the draft now.

Interesting question. What is Rick Barnes' ability to get shooting guards ready for the next level? Anybody know?
