The NBA season just got over (literally -- it just ended Sunday night!), but the NBA Draft is already upon us. No bloated pre-draft process here! (Take note, NFL.)
As Iowa fans, we care about the NBA Draft this year because we're hoping (expecting, really) to see an Iowa player get drafted for the third straight year. In 2014, Roy Devyn Marble ended Iowa's (very very very) long drought of having a player selected in the NBA Draft when he was taken in the second round by the Orlando Magic. Last year, in 2015, Aaron White made it two years in a row that an Iowa player was drafted when he was taken in the second round by the Washington Wizards.
