In the last six years, seven Miami Hurricanes basketball players have signed an NBA contract.
Today, only two remain in the league.
Last year’s draftees Lonnie Walker and Bruce Brown are with the San Antonio Spurs and Detroit Pistons. Both had strong summer league performances but each face new challenges as the season gets set to be underway.
Walker tore his right meniscus in the preseason—the same one gore tore a year-and-a-half ago— and is out indefinitely.
Brown has appeared in five preseason games with the Pistons and is averaging just over two points per game while shooting 30% from the field.
