Definitely unusual.  He must feel pretty solid about his draft position [which again, runs counter to what the majority of credible sources are suggesting about how the first round shapes up].

I've figured that the combine would be highly informative, and that this data would yield analysis that the NBA draft committee would provide, which would in turn inform his decision making process and enable the kid to make a decision based upon a objective data [as opposed to an emotionally impulsive decision, or one based upon agents pumping him with inaccurate info].  That would fit with the kid not hiring an agent.

In actuality, I believe [emphasis on that] that the kid became enamored with the possibility of going pro after declaring and has decided that he wants to go earn some $$$.  This "decision" may or may not be supported by what the NBA thinks of him.  Fortunately has not hired an agent yet, and the upcoming combine will either support his belief that he's ready and the time is now, or give him a tequilla shot dose of reality that his stock isn't that high.

Not sure what he'll do if the latter happens, but as of now--perhaps the most important factor is that he hasn't hired an agent, which makes a return possible.
