C. We have received information that the following players may either have signed professional basketball contracts with teams in leagues other than the NBA or otherwise exhausted their NCAA Division I basketball eligibility. If this information is correct, these players would also be eligible for selection in the 2008 NBA Draft. Because this information has not been verified, however, teams should do their own due diligence (as with any other draft selection) and call the League Office before picking any of these players in the 2008 NBA Draft.
