Former Beaver Stephen Thompson Jr. was drafted by the Wisconsin Herd in today’s NBA G-League Draft. Thompson was taken with the 2nd pick of the 2nd round, the 30th overall pick. The Wisconcin Herd is the G-League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks, and plays in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Thompson will get a shot at being another Beaver to make the jump from the G League to the NBA. Drew Eubanks spent time with the Austin Spurs before being called up by San Antonio and playing in 23 games. Gary Payton Jr. has bounced between the NBA and the G League on a few teams (including the Herd) and currently plays for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Houston Rockets affiliate.
