All eyes were on Virginia's Justin Anderson last night, who was drafted No. 21 overall in the NBA Draft to the Dallas Mavericks. And while Darion Atkins wasn't able to hear his own name on Thursday night, it doesn't mean that the forward was exactly twiddling his thumbs while playing rummy.
According to Daily Progress's Whitey Reid, Atkins "was inundated with offers to play" in the NBA summer league. So much so that he had to narrow the list down to five, before ultimately choosing to go with the Spurs.
"Best fit," Atkins said in a text message to Whitey when asked why he chose the Spurs.
