All eyes on Anthony Black as freshman debates NBA or Arkansas

Of the five players on the Arkansas basketball team who were in legitimate consideration for the NBA, decisions have come from two of them.

Freshman guard Nick Smith Jr., unsurprisingly, announced his intention to enter the NBA draft early Thursday morning. Later in the day, sophomore forward Trevon Brazile announced he would return to Arkansas for another season.

The two were tied together for various reasons. Both were in their first season with the Razorbacks. Both suffered knee injuries. Both were projected first-round picks at some point. Both saw their NBA stock drop.
