MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Da’Sean Butler has already been where Jevon Carter will find himself Thursday.

The former West Virginia standout said his NBA draft day in 2010 was filled with different emotions that bubbled to the surface and then made way for even more.

“It’s something you’ve been waiting for since you were a kid,” Butler said. “Growing up, I’d say since I was 11 or 12 years old, all I ever wanted to do was play in the NBA. The closer you get, you start to see so many dreams come true in the draft, and they’re young guys like you.
