SALT LAKE CITY — If Jazz fans were disappointed with the numbers put up by first-round pick Trey Lyles last year at Kentucky, they should be doing cartwheels over the numbers second-round draft pick Olivier Hanlan produced at Boston College.
Over a three-year period, Hanlan started 95 of 96 games and averaged 17.8 points playing 33 minutes per game while shooting 45 percent from the field and 78 percent from the foul line. He was a first-team all-ACC selection and set an ACC tournament record for a freshman in 2013 by scoring 41 points against Georgia Tech.
On the other hand, Hanlan was taken with the 42nd overall pick of Thursday’s draft and history says that not many second-round draft picks make it in the NBA.
