The former Boise State forward was once a lightly-recruited JUCO player, and now he could hear his name called during Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Background
Boise State’s James Webb III journey to the NBA Draft wasn’t an easy one. Webb spent a season at North Idaho College after receiving little, if any, attention from division one schools across the country.
However, it did not take long for Webb to impress head coach Leon Rice and the rest of the Mountain West in two seasons in Boise. Webb was named Newcomer of the Year after his fantastic redshirt sophomore season, and continued to be an impact player and team leader during his redshirt junior season.
