James Wiseman leaving Memphis early 'complicates' NBA draft
A non-league matchup between Oregon and Memphis last month in Portland likely drew more interest from NBA executives than it did from college basketball diehards.
Over 50 NBA scouts and personnel descended upon the Moda Center because they feared it would be their last chance to evaluate potential No. 1 overall pick James Wiseman for awhile.
Wiseman at the time was playing his second game in defiance of an NCAA ruling that rendered him ineligible to play college basketball. The Memphis freshman dropped his pending litigation two days later and began serving a 12-game suspension stemming from moving expenses his family improperly accepted while he was still in high school.
