The NBA Draft took place on Thursday night and as expected by most, the night went by without a Gator being selected.
However, mere moments after the final pick of the evening was announced, Colin Castleton inked a two-way deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. While you might think that Castleton not hearing his name called was a disappointment, in fact–the opposite might be true. Given the current structure of the collective bargaining agreement, there is no real advantage to being drafted in the second round, where Castleton might have gone, and going undrafted actually has its advantages.
