Former Buff Tyler Bey headed to the Dallas Mavericks

It may not have been the engrossing in-person experience that the NBA draft provides in most years, but it certainly wasn’t one that the Buffs will forget. On Wednesday night, University of Colorado men’s basketball forward Tyler Bey was selected with the 6th pick in the second round (36th overall) by the Philadelphia 76ers before being traded later in the night to the Dallas Mavericks. The trade also sent veteran shooting guard Josh Richardson to the Mavs in exchange for Stephen Curry’s younger brother, Seth Curry.

Coming out of Las Vegas, Nevada as a four-star recruit, Bey chose Colorado over offers from fellow Pac-12 members Utah and Arizona State.
