Update: Chris Boucher will not enter NBA draft; Dillon Brooks, Tyler Dorsey exploring options

UPDATE (6:20 p.m.): Chris Boucher will not be entering the NBA Draft, a spokesperson from Oregon confirmed, neither will sophomore forward Jordan Bell. Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey are still exploring their options, according to the university. All four players are enrolled in classes this spring at Oregon.

Original story:

Oregon basketball's Dillon Brooks and Chris Boucher will enter this year's NBA Draft but won't hire agents, according to ESPN.com. 

Because the two will not hire agents, they can keep their amateur status and return to the Ducks next season if they withdraw from the draft before May 25 -- 10 days after the NBA Draft combine in Chicago. The draft will be held on June 23.

Brooks, a sophomore, led the Ducks with 16.7 points per game and chipped in 5.4 rebounds in a breakout year that had him in the running for Pac-12 player of the year. Boucher, who was the national junior college player of the year before transfering to Oregon before the season, averaged 12.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and set an Oregon single-season record with 106 blocks in the regular season.

After the NCAA deemed Boucher a senior last fall, the 6-foot-10 Canadian was awarded an extra season of eligibility just prior to the NCAA Tournament.

According to Chad Ford's Big Board on ESPN.com, Boucher is the 63rd-best prospect in the draft, while Brooks is ranked 175th.

Tyler Dorsey, who just completed his freshman year for the Ducks, is Oregon's top-rated prospect at No. 60. There is no word yet as to whether Dorsey will enter the draft or not.
