PLAYA VISTA – The closest UNLV’s Patrick McCaw has gotten to NBA players was two summers ago when the Clippers spent a portion of their fall camp on his college campus.
“I said ‘What’s up?’ to DeAndre (Jordan) and Blake (Griffin) in the weight room. But that’s pretty much it,” said McCaw, a star guard for the Rebels. “These are the guys you do crazy stuff with on (NBA) 2K (video game) and to run alongside them or play against them, it’s just hard to believe.”
Harder still could be landing that coveted spot in the NBA draft.
