Wayne Blackshear: "I'm going to make an NBA roster"

Despite not being selected in last week's NBA Draft, Wayne Blackshear remains steadfast in his belief that his professional future lies with the sport's biggest league, and not overseas.

"I'm not thinking about playing overseas or playing in a developmental league," Blackshear told The Chicago Tribune. "I'm going to make an NBA roster. I know what I can do and what I have to offer. I have to stay focused and be in the right mindset. I believe in myself."

Blackshear heard from a number of teams who told him they might select him during the latter portion of the draft's second round, but he wasn't surprised to see the evening end without hearing his name called.
