Trio of Tar Heel stars to test NBA waters after championship redemption

This was pretty surprising.

UNC is flying pretty high after its epic national title win over Gonzaga earlier this month, and it looks like three players are feeling pretty good about themselves too as they've declared for the NBA Draft.

Bradley is the only one who has been projected to actually be taken in this draft by a bunch of analysts so it will be interesting to see if Pinson or Berry can make any headway in workouts or at the NBA Combine. Bradley just beat out the Sunday deadline and it looks like his two teammates did the same in hopes of getting paid to play next season.

Berry averaged 14.7 points, 1.4 steals, 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 38.4 percent from three-point land and 42.8 percent overall. Pinson averaged 6.1 points, 3.7 assists and 4.6 rebounds while shooting an abysmal 23.7 percent from downtown and 38.1 percent overall from the floor. Bradley averaged 7.1 points and 5.1 rebounds a game in just 14.1 minutes of action.

Since none have hired agents they will be able to return to school so long as they withdraw their name from the NBA Draft before May 24.
