Neitzel goes undrafted
Posted by kj on Friday, June 27th, 2008
For anyone who hasn’t taken the time to scour the draft list from last night, Drew Neitzel went undrafted. As noted by Joe Rexrode (and previously asserted here), this may be for the best, as Neitzel will be able to find the best fit for an NBA team to try out for over the summer.
The only three Big Ten players drafted were all in the first round: Eric Gordon (#7 to the Clippers), Kosta Koufos (#23 to the Jazz), and D.J. White (#29 to the Pistons; traded to the Supersonics).

I’m glad Detroit made the trade. I don’t think I could have handled DJ White on the Pistons. Although I don’t know why they just didn’t go for CDR with that pick.
