The NBA G League draft was today, which I’m sure all of you knew and were watching with bated breath. The Greensboro Swarm made two selections—Aaron Wheeler and Tyson Jolly.
Wheeler was selected with the third overall pick, while Jolly was taken with the third pick in the second round (32nd overall). The Swarm also held the 35th, 52nd, and 61st overall selections but elected not to use them. That’s very common in the G League draft, as teams elected to not make 28 of the possible 87 picks.
Wheeler was a bench player at Purdue his first three collegiate seasons before transferring to St John’s as a senior.
