The Toronto Raptors drafted Big 12 Conference Male Athlete of the Year and Hosuston’s former point guard Jamal Shead with the 45th pick in the NBA Draft Thursday.
“It didn’t matter what team Shead went to, they were all going to get the same guy,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said. “I tell our guys everything they learned from me is over once they enter the NBA. They just have to make sure they keep their attitude and effort where it needs to be and be a good teammate.”
Shead topped the Cougars in scoring with 12.9 points per game.
