Another All-American bites the dust.

Memphis' junior guard Chris Douglas-Roberts has decided to declare for the 2008 NBA Draft. Earlier in the week his teamate Derrick Rose declared.

"The ride that we all took together this year is what dreams are made of, and now I feel it is time to pursue my ultimate dream of playing in the NBA," he said in a statement.

Douglas-Roberts was voted Conference USA player of the year, averging 18.1 points a game and 41.3 percent from 3-point land.

Along with Rose, Douglas-Roberts joins other star underclassmen like Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, and O.J. Mayo in the draft.
