FOXSports.com has learned that at least one of North Carolina's Big Three will declare for the NBA Draft, but not sign with an agent.
According to sources close to the situation, Tar Heels sophomores Ty Lawson intends to go through the draft process and test the waters.
FOXSports.com was unable to confirm the intentions of National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough and sophomore shooting guard Wayne Ellington.
The 5-foot-11 Lawson averaged 12.7 points and 5.2 assists this past season.
The school is expected to issue a statement.
North Carolina went 36-3 a year ago and lost to Kansas in the national semifinals. With all three back in the fold, the Tar Heels would be the prohibitive favorite to win the national championship next season.
The 6-foot-9 Hansbrough averaged 22.6 points and 10.2 rebounds per game last season while Ellington averaged 16.6 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Underclassmen have until Sunday to declare for the June 26 NBA Draft and the deadline to withdraw is June 16.
