Early Oct. 26, former Mountaineer shooting guard Ronshad Shabazz was selected No. 13 overall in the NBA G League Draft by the College Park Skyhawks, the G League affiliate of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks.
To me, this is one of the first signs that App State men’s basketball is headed in the right direction. While Shabazz’s success is nothing new to App State fans after he was named to All-Sun Belt rosters three times during his college career, the Mountaineers haven’t had a lot of success on the professional level, and this is an important first step toward that goal.
