Roderick Flemings will not get selected in next month's NBA Draft, and it has nothing to do with the talent level of the University of Hawai'i standout.

Flemings is not eligible for the NBA Draft because the NBA league office has not received his paperwork for early entry.

"We have not received anything from a Roderick Flemings, according to our records," Mark Broussard of the NBA league office said. "And the deadline has come and gone."

Flemings, a 6-foot-7 guard/forward, recently completed his junior season with the Rainbow Warriors. Because he is not a senior, Flemings needed to fill out forms to declare for early entry into the NBA Draft.

He insists that he completed the forms and mailed it in well before the April 26 deadline.

"I don't know what happened," Flemings said. "I was waiting all this time to hear back from (the NBA). If they say they didn't get it, then I don't know where it went."

The NBA released a list last Thursday of 75 underclassmen who officially declared for early entry. Flemings is not on the list.

"That's the list we send to every NBA team," Broussard said. "So that's the list they work with."

What's more, players have to be on that list to be eligible for the NBA pre-draft camp later this month. The pre-draft camp is where players get measured and tested in various drills.

Flemings said last month that his plan was to declare for early entry into the 2009 NBA Draft, but not hire an agent. By not signing with an agent, he would still be eligible to return for his senior season.

Hawai'i head coach Bob Nash said he has been planning all along for Flemings to return for the 2009-10 season. Nash added that he did not assist Flemings with the paperwork process for the NBA Draft.

"I really don't know what to say because I don't know what Rod did or didn't do as far as that part is concerned," Nash said. "We're doing what we can to get our team ready for next year, and Rod is obviously a big part of that."

Flemings said he would still like to attend private workouts for NBA teams, although that might be risking his NCAA eligibility.

"I got a lot of friends on (the early entry list)," Flemings said. "That's why I wanted to go and work out with some of them. I'll see if there's a way I can still do that."

A spokesman for one NBA team said: "Teams normally bring in players for private workouts if they think there's a chance they might draft those players. If (Flemings) is not on the list, I don't see why a team would bring him in. Now, if he hires an agent and wants to work a free agent deal, that's a different story."

Flemings has been working out with his Hawai'i teammates in recent weeks, and is completing his classes for this semester.

He led the 'Bows last season with 16.6 points per game, and was second in rebounding with 5.8 per game.

Flemings is projected as a second-round pick for the 2010 NBA Draft by the Web site www.nbadraft.net.
