The Other Side of UCONN, the NBA Draft,

As I said yesterday, UConn football is a snowball that is only getting bigger and gaining attention in the NCAA. However, UConn fans have had a long happiness of their division of basketball. The players produced are phenomenal, the coach (Jim Calhoun) is highley regarded as the best coach in the game today. The UConn Men's and even Women's Basketball Programs have been greatly successful.

Look at the players draft out of UConn since 1990:
-1996: Ray Allen, 5th Pick Overall to the Minnesota T-Wolves
-1999: Richard "Rip" Hamilton, 7th Pick Overall to the Washington Wizards
- 1994: Donyell Marshall, 4th Pick Overall to the Minnesota T-Wolves
- 2004: Emeka Okefor, 2nd Overall to the Charolette Bobcats
- 2004: Ben Gordon, 3rd Overall to the Chicago Bulls
-1996: Travis Knight, 29th Overall to the Chicago Bulls
-2006: Hilton Armstrong, 12th Overall to the New Orleans Hornets
-2006: Josh Boone, 23rd Overall to the New Jersey Nets
-1993: Scott Burrell, 20th Overall to the New Orleans (Then Charolatte) Hornets
-2002: Caron Butler, 10th Overall to the Miami Heat
-2000: Khalid El- Amin, 34th Overall to the Chicago Bulls
-2006: Rudy Gay, 8th Overall to the Memphis Grizzlies
-1990: Tate George, 22nd Overall by the New Jersey Nets
- 1995: Donny Marshall, 39th Overall to the Cleveland Cavaliers
-1992: Chris Smith, 34th Overall to the Minnesota T-Wolves
-2005: Charlie Villanueva, 7th Pick to the Toronto Raptors
-2000: Jake Voskuhl, 33rd Overall to the Chicago Bulls
-2006: Marcus Williams, 22nd Overall to the New Jersey Nets

With this type of resume you can assure that NBA Bound Stars Hasheem Thabeet, Jeff Adrien, and AJ Price will make an impact in the league, like many of the stars above have. UConn fans are not happy however when players are drafted. 'Why?' you must ask. This is because these players are so good that every fan thinks that if they stay 1 More Year, they can win the National Title. Little do they know that a whole group of High Schoolers are getting ready for their chance at spotlight, such as Ater Majok, and many others that will become the new face of the UConn franchise.
