Dion question

[orangecuse]

How many non starters have ever been drafted in the NBA's first round or second for that matter?

I know Dion's more than notable and the argument about how he plays starters minutes, etc., but the fact is that he has never started as a collegiate player. JB has stated himself that Dion is best (most productive) when his minutes are limited, or within a certain range...so...it would be interesting to know that bit of trivia.

Wow, that was fast. Where did he go?

Daniel Orton from UK played like 8 mpg... drafted #30 overall... first rounder :noidea:

Correct, but wasn't he starting games towards the end of the year?

ATL

I believe he was drafted by Atlanta

that team was so stacked... ironic that their best player, Rashad McCants, barely had an NBA career. Sean May, Raymond Felton, Marvin Williams

ATL

Thanks...I actually wondered what number pick, what round when I asked where...before I saw how quickly you guys answered...impressive.

I saw that team play in the Dome in the elite 8.. Very nasty team

 

[orangecuse]

I guess very few and far between though. Just me wishful thinking that he could come back next year even though reports are stating otherwise.

I don't think Marvin started a game for UNC? Or maybe he did because Sean May got hurt? (Sean May always seemed to be hurt)

I think Corey Maggette was a top 5 pick.
