Spencer Dinwiddie officially announces he will enter 2014 NBA Draft

The University of Colorado star point guard Spencer Dinwiddie announced Thursday he's skipping his senior season and will declare for the NBA draft.

Dinwiddie said at a news conference in Boulder, Colo., that despite this year's deep pool of talent, ''I just don't feel there are that many people in this draft that are better than me.''

Dinwiddie's junior season was cut short when he tore his left ACL Jan. 12 at Washington and needed reconstructive surgery. He said he expects to be back on the court by August.

A Los Angeles native, Dinwiddie was averaging 14.7 points and nearly four assists when he got hurt.
