Manhattan's Pickett going pro overseas

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - Riverdale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manhattan guard Rico Pickett will leave the school to pursue a professional career overseas, the school announced Friday.

Pickett was an All-MAAC selection last season as a junior, leading the conference with an average of 17.7 points per game. The 2009-10 season was the only one he spent at Manhattan, as he previously played for Alabama and Miami Dade College.

"I would like to thank everyone who helped me along the way at Manhattan College," said Pickett. "I spent one year at Manhattan, but I will always consider myself a member of the Jasper family. I would especially like to thank Coach Barry Rohrssen for his support and guidance. He will always be an extended family member to my family and me."

The school's release did not say where Pickett plans to play. He had entered his name into the NBA Draft, but withdrew it in May.

"We are supportive of his decision to pursue a professional career and fully understand this is what is best for him and his family at this time," Rohrssen said. "We wish Rico all the best in his future endeavors."
