Colbey Ross was a lightly recruited Eaglecrest basketball star who defied the odds to become one of the greatest all-purpose point guards in NCAA history.
The NBA draft decision-makers can doubt him at their own risk.
“I’ve proven myself every time,” Ross said. “I’m just happy, thankful, and blessed to be in this position.”
Ross, after a decorated four-year career at Pepperdine, is the first player in men’s Division I basketball with at least 2,200 points, 800 assists and 400 rebounds. Yet his name is nowhere to be found on most NBA mock drafts, with both rounds set for Thursday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
