Hickson to Explore NBA Draft

It could be one and done for N.C. State freshman J.J. Hickson. Monday night on his final radio show of the year, Wolfpack coach Sidney Lowe said that Hickson will test the waters and enter his name in the NBA draft.  The option to return to N.C. State remains open as long as Hickson doesn't hire an agent.

The host of Lowe's radio show, Tony Haynes, said Lowe added that he will do all he can to help Hickson but would love to have him back. Hickson will probably go through draft camp and seek as much feedback as he can get. From that information, he'll make a decision whether to begin his pro career or come back to N.C. State for his sophomore season.

As a freshman, Hickson led the Wolfpack in scoring and rebounding with 14.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. In State's final game, a 60-53 loss to Miami in the ACC Tournament,  Hickson recorded his 10th double-double of the season with 27 points and 14 boards.
