DURHAM, N.C. - Duke's Carlos Boozer has signed with an agent, meaning the junior center definitely will make himself available for the NBA draft. <br>
<br>
A Duke official said Friday that Boozer has signed with sports agent Arn Tellem of SFX Sports. The decision means Boozer has lost his remaining year of college eligibility. <br>
<br>
Boozer's decision was expected: he said at the beginning of this past season that he intended to leave Duke at the end of his third years, as did Jason Williams. <br>
<br>
Williams, the Associated Press national player of the year, announced Tuesday that he had signed with agent Bill Duffy of BDA Sports Management. <br>
<br>
The 6-foot-9, 280-pound Boozer averaged 18.2 points and 8.7 rebounds while making 66.5 percent of his shots this past season while top-ranked Duke reached the round of 16 before losing to Indiana. <br>
<br>
Boozer has said he would take courses this summer to complete the remaining requirements he needed to graduate early with a sociology degree.
