LAFAYETTE – Former Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball star Shawn Long became the second alum in as many days to earn an invitation to the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League when he selected by the Chicago Bulls in an announcement on Wednesday.
The Morgan City, La., native and member of the 2015 U.S. Pan American Men's Basketball Team, will join former Ragin' Cajuns great Jay Wright in the Summer League. Wright, a three-year letterwinner for the Ragin' Cajuns, earned an invitation on Tuesday with the NBA's Orlando Magic.
"I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play on a NBA stage and showcase what I can do," Long said.
