PEORIA, Ill. ? Bradley sophomore center Patrick O'Bryant (Blaine, Minn./Blaine H.S.) has entered his name for the 2006 NBA Draft, but he has not yet signed with an agent, maintaining his NCAA eligibility in the event he elects to withdraw from the draft by the June 18 deadline.

O'Bryant announced his decision Saturday afternoon during a press conference at Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse on the Bradley campus.

The 7-foot O'Bryant completed his sophomore season last month by helping Bradley (22-11) reach the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1955.  The 2006 Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year and a second-team All-MVC selection, O'Bryant averaged 13.4 points and 8.3 rebounds during the 2005-06 season.  He led the Valley by averaging 2.9 blocked shots per game and his 147 rejections in two seasons already rank third on the school's all-time list and 10th in Valley history.
