Being drafted into the NBA is a feeling that not many people in the world can relate to and former Duke basketball standout Sion James wasted no time celebrating his selection to the Charlotte Hornets.
Being surrounded by family and friends, along with Duke associate head coach Chris Carrawell, at a private draft part, James sat on the couch as Mark Tatum came to the podium in Brooklyn. It was silent around James as everyone waited for the deputy commissioner with their phones recording.
As soon as the pick was read, it sounded like Cameron Indoor Stadium.
