College basketball player asked to leave the NBA draft of the day

A lot of college basketball players will enter the draft this year and becaue the NBA draft only last two rounds, there will no doubt be more than a handful of players left disappointed they didn't get selected. Some shouldn't be surprised, some of them have to know right now they aren't good enough to get their names called. Yet, their names remain in the draft.

Well, there's one college player, my new favorite college basketball player, who entered in the draft not only knowing he didn't have a chance to be selected but became probably the first person asked to withdraw his name from the NBA draft.

There's nothing stopping me from declaring for the draft, other than I wouldn't know where to find the required papers, but the three-year member of Ohio State's basketball team has been asked to withdraw his name from the draft by the league.

This is bad for him, but good for us. That player, Mark Titus, writes a blog called Club Trillion. Titus plays for Ohio State and only has one necessary basketball skill: the ability to hit a sweet jump shot. He's a white kid from a well-off family who walked on to OSU's team. His goal is to hit the trillion mark every game, which is a reference to his stats. He wants to play one minute a game and record no other stats. A perfect game is doing it without touching the ball once.

He's keeping a blog of his time on the end of OSU's bench and apologizes to his fans for accidently grabbing a rebound or making an easy steal, which wrecks his attempt at the exclusive trillion mark. The best thing about his blog is that he can actually write. It's worth checking out. It's pretty funny.
