NCAA Players Find NBA Teams in Draft

The NBA Draft is over, and most of the best college basketball players from last year’s NCAA basketball season are now on NBA rosters. The first two picks went just as expected, with the Portland Trailblazers taking Greg Oden of Ohio State as the number one pick and the Seattle SuperSonics taking Kevin Durant second overall.

After that there weren’t too many surprises. Al Hortford, Mike Conley, Jeff Green and Yi Jianlain went 3,4,5, and 6, respectively. One of the biggest stores was actually a trade between the Boston Celtics and Seattle SuperSonics. The Sonics traded Ray Allen to the Celtics in exchange for their first round pick, among other things. The Sonics now have an outstanding two guard in Durant, so there would be an obvious overlap with Allen and Durant on the court at the same time.

So now that all of your favorite college hoops stars have officially joined the ranks of professional ball, you can quit dreaming of going to StubHub.com and getting NCAA Basketball tickets to see them play. From now on, to see Oden, Durant and the rest, you are going to have to go to NBA games. Shame, shame.
