Pack's Hickson "Trying to Get to" the NBA
J.J. Hickson of N.C. State against Virginia Tech on February 5, 2008.
Feb 26, 2008
Would N.C. State freshman J.J. Hickson turn professional after one season?
Perhaps. On Tuesday, in one-on-one interview with WRAL, he addressed whether he'd consider the NBA after this season.
“Being a competitor, the next level is the NBA. That’s what I’m trying to get to," Hickson said. "If the opportunity is there, I’ll look at it then and sit down with my parents and my coaching staff.
“If it’s not there, I wouldn’t mind coming back to school and doing another year or however many it takes.”
Hickson, a freshman center, leads N.C. State in scoring (14.9 per game) and rebounding (8.6).

Turtle I am proud of you for admitting that your UNC players are academic exceptions. However, the exceptions should be for everyone not just the mens basketball team!
