NBA Draft-Dez to Europe??

As many expected, Dez Wells was not drafted. What are his prospects for making an NBA teams undrafted? I'm guessing that Dez will be playing in Europe next year. Dez - look for me in the stands. I will be the one on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

It looks like the Orioles will not be signing Pat Conaughton as a pitcher. He was drafted in the second round by the Nets and immediately traded to some other team. It was annoying listening to Jay Bilas trying to figure out how many times he could mention that Pat has a 95 mile/hour fast ball. Big deal. I can throw the ball at 95 miles/hour, that is from the back of a pickup truck going 55 miles/hour.

Greivis Vasquez was traded to the Bucks for future pick(s). GV is a good NBA player. He has proved it repeatedly by having trade value.

The NY Knicks fans were royally pissed that the Knicks passed over a number of quality players who may have been able to help the team near term. Instead, they drafted a Euro-player is not available for two or three years. Apparently, the idea is to make Knicks tickets affordable for all New Yorkers. A sizable group of Knicks fans stood up and booed for an extended time at the close of the second round. Impressive that they are loyal enough to stick with a frustrating franchise to the point of booing the draft dog and pony show. Just think what these fans would do if they had something to cheer about.
