Floyd May Try For Olympic
Furman University star Darreil Floyd says he may try for the Olympic team rather than turn pro immediately. He denies a New York report that he joined a coast to coast all star tour that would end April 19 as the Harlem Globetrotters opponent. Floyd, from Thomasville, N C, scored 946 points in 28 games this season for 33.8 ppg and led major college scoring last year with 39 ppg. His three year average is 32.1, second to Furman ace Frank Sely, who averaged 32.5. The all star tour shares receipts with players turning pro.
