Syracuse Lacrosse: Randy Staats Selected Sixth Overall in NLL Draft

The Georgia Swarm selected the former Orange attackman in the first round of Monday's league draft, the only player taken from SU in the night.

The NLL held its annual draft on Monday night and the Georgia Swarm chose former Syracuse Orange Randy Staats with the sixth overall pick.

The selection was not too much of a surprise, Inside Lacrosse had projected the SU alum as a first rounder given his incredible scoring ability and his lengthly experience with the box game. However, the Swarm will not be short of internal competition as organization used its first overall pick to grab Lyle Thompson.
