(May 6, 2004) ?C Fordham University senior forward Michael Haynes received an invitation to attend the NBA??s Pre-Draft Camp in Chicago from June 8-11, it was announced today. The Chicago pre-draft camp is the final opportunity for the NBA scouts to see the draft-eligible players in action. Over sixty invited draft hopefuls will play in front of NBA talent evaluators in what is their ??final interview?? in the last of two postseason camps. The Chicago camp also serves as the site for the players to be measured, weighed and given physicals. Haynes, a 2004 Third Team All-Atlantic 10 and Second Team All-Metropolitan selection, enjoyed his finest season as a Ram, averaging 18.6 ppg and 7.4 rpg, both career-highs. He was ranked fifth in the Atlantic 10 in scoring and eighth in rebounding and was just one of two conference players to be ranked in the top ten in both scoring and rebounding this year (along with La Salle??s Steven Smith). He also had 22 blocks on the year while shooting 37.0% (50-135) from three-point land. Haynes finished the regular season playing his best basketball, scoring a career-high 36 points in Fordham??s finale at St. Bonaventure. He recorded three 30-point games on the season, the most by a Fordham player since 1989-90 when Andre McClendon topped the 30-point mark three times. Haynes scored in double figures in 26 of his 27 games in 2003-04 and recorded eight double-doubles. He closed out his collegiate career with 1,228 points, 14th best on Fordham??s all-time list, along with 521 career rebounds, an average of 12.8 ppg and 5.4 rpg.
