While Texas point guard D.J. Augustin wrestles with the decision whether or not to test the NBA waters, his backcourt mate has decided to declare for the NBA Draft.

According to multiple sources close to the situation, 5-foot-11, 160-pound junior shooting guard A.J. Abrams will test the waters.

Abrams averaged 16.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game for the Longhorns this past season. He's considered one of the nation's top perimeter shooters, but lacks the size to play shooting guard at the next level.

Abrams is a fairly one-dimensional player and isn't expected to be drafted. However, since the workouts are allowed to be paid for by NBA teams, many players will test the waters that probably shouldn't this year.

On the flip side, sources indicate that Augustin continues to struggle with the decision whether to declare for the draft or not. NBA executives have told FOXSports.com that the sophomore floor leader could go anywhere from the back end of the lottery to late in the first round.
