Yanic Konan Niederhauser was sitting in the suite level during the NBA draft at the Barclays Center last Wednesday. At the end of the night, he was instructed to head down to the stage.
The Los Angeles Clippers had just selected him No. 30 overall, and the official announcement was about to happen. While he ran down a hallway toward the stage, the joy on his face was evident as his goal of making the pros came to fruition.
After NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made the announcement, Konan Niederhauser walked up to the stage with a smile still on his face.
