NBA Draft Net: Weaver, Low Get Drafted

Looking at NBA Draft Net 2008 mock draft, they have both Kyle Weaver and Derrick Low getting drafted. Weaver goes #33 to, guess who?, the Seattle Sonics. Low goes #55 to the Lakers.

We are surprised by this. All season we've heard about how the Cougars are a team of role players, they play well together in the system, but not as individuals. Then we read that out of the Top 60 players, 2 of them are Cougars.

Question: Should UW PF Jon Brockman turn pro? He's averaging a double-double and is the only reason why UW is winning some games. A lot of people are dubbing the Huskies as a team built for 2009, but does Brockman hang around to find out. Right now, he's not on anyone's draft board so we think we stays. What if he goes to some draft camps, grades out well, and realizes that he can't improve anymore in his senior season?


What we do know is he's a hardworker who gives him all every night. The NBA could use some more players like this, in its individual, highlight reel dunk league.
