F.Y.I, three players who played high school basketball in Wisconsin were drafted Thursday, and they were:
38. SG Kyle Weaver, Beloit
55. PG/SG Mike Taylor, Milwaukee Marshall
59. SF Deron Washington, Green Bay Notre Dame
3 of the 49 American players drafted is a superb showing for the state. Theoretically, the average state will produce one of the NBA players drafted (1/50 states). So Wisconsin fared 3 times better than the average state.
Also worth noting:
Danny Ainge reportedly has an affinity for Brian Butch and he'll probably play for the Champions' Summer league. I was pretty disappointed Jonte Flowers didn't get drafted. He's a 3-time D2 Defensive POY, has good size for a 2, is athletic, can shoot somewhat, has a good handle. Flowers has everything NBA GM's are looking for except experience against top competition. He reportedly is being considered for the Wolves' summer league team.
