Arthur definitely not returning to KU

Kansas University power forward Darrell Arthur told reporters at the NBA pre-draft camp on Friday that he has played his last basketball game at KU.

Arthur, who is projected as a lottery pick in the draft, told Yahoo! Sports and Miami reporters that he would choose an agent next week.

“Yes, I’m coming out,” Arthur said in Orlando, Fla., referring to definitely staying in the draft.

He said he has individual workouts scheduled next week for New Jersey and Charlotte.

KU coach Bill Self said Friday afternoon he was not surprised by Arthur’s decision to hire an agent and remain in the draft.

“We’ve anticipated this happening since last August,” Self said. “It’s not news to us at all. I think it’s good. Everybody knew ‘Shady’ would stay in.”
