When Toronto's Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph declared for the NBA Draft in April, a lot of people (including myself) thought that they were making a big mistake. Granted they both had a "good" year at Texas, but many thought they were just not ready for the NBA. On many of the mock draft boards Tristan was predicted to go anywhere from 12-16 and Cory early to mid 2nd round. By the time they were done going thru the NBA Combine in Chicago and then all of the team work outs, both their draft stocks had risen.
Last night was the NBA Draft in New Jersey. With the 4th pick of the draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Tristan Thompson (the highest drafted Canadian ever). With the 29th pick of the draft, the San Antonio Spurs selected Cory Joseph (which earlier they got rid of back up PG George Hill).
Congrats to you both on turning your dreams into a reality. Good luck and may you both have long successful careers.
