UNLV’s NBA Draft prospects waited Thursday and then waited some more.
The first round came and went, and neither Stephen Zimmerman Jr. nor Patrick McCaw was selected.
Finally, the wait ended for McCaw, who was taken with the eighth pick (38th overall) in the second round by the Milwaukee Bucks. Zimmerman’s waited ended quickly afterward when the Orlando Magic selected him three picks later.
Both players were projected to go from late in the first round to somewhere in the second. The respective waits by those players continued the question of whether they made the right decisions to leave UNLV early.
