Draft Express: Sources at LSU claim that Freshman Power Forward Tyrus Thomas is tentatively scheduled to conduct a press conference on Monday at 3 PM to announce he’s entering the 2006 NBA draft. As of right now he is “testing the waters” and will not be hiring an agent. How long that lasts is remained to be seen, as Thomas has, from the information DraftExpress gathered, reportedly done his homework with NBA GMs and been informed that he is expected to be a top 5 pick in this year’s upcoming draft. DraftExpress exclusively reported that Thomas has made up his mind and is expected to announce his decision last week.
