Minutes before Admiral Schofield was drafted, his agent told his 22-year-old client he might want to get to a TV, if he wasn’t watching. Schofield soon received another text message — this time from a friend containing a tweet from ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski.
Looking at it, Schofield found out he was selected 42nd overall.
“(My agent) told me I was going to get picked, but I saw the tweet before my agent called,” Schofield said. “Woj is like elite.”
At first, a thrilled Schofield thought he was headed to the Philadelphia 76ers. He watched on television as deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announce the 76ers had drafted him.
