To say that the NBA 2011 Draft was a night to end all nights is an understatement. Â We had two excellent players proudly representing us and while we realize the outcome for both of our gentlemen were not instant results we had hoped for we know that the seeds were planted for two amazing careers to come.
MarShon Brooks was the first round 25th pick selected by the Boston Celtics, but he never got a chance to get use to Beantown because before the night was out he had been traded off to the Garden State and their New Jersey Nets! Â The Nets are looking to reorganize their team for the 2012 season and picked up three out of the first round.
While Scotty Hopson was not selected right out of the gate we are confident that the Junior from University of Tennessee will be picked up as a free agent and be a valuable addition to whichever team is fortunate enough to choose the young man with an amazing athleticism.
Godspeed to all of the young men with their NBA dreams.
