DaJuan Summers Drafted By the Detroit Pistons in 2nd Round

On a night when Big East rivals Hasheem Thabeet, Jonny Flynn, Terrence Williams, and Earl Clark were all taken in the top 14 picks, Georgetown's DaJuan Summers was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 5th pick in the 2nd Round (35th overall).

ESPN's Chad Ford:

5 (35) Detroit (from Minnesota) DaJuan Summers 6-9 243 SF Georgetown
The Pistons seriously considered Summers at No. 15, so they are thrilled to get him at No. 35. Summers is a fantastic athlete, can shoot the ball and can play both the 3 and the 4. This is a great pick this late in the draft.

With the 30th and final pick in the 1st Round representing Summers' last shot at a guaranteed contract next season, the Cleveland Cavaliers took a small forward from the Republic of Congo

If it's any consolation to Hoyas fans, Summers was picked ahead of Pitt's Sam Young and DeJuan Blair, and Syracuse's dynamic duo of Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf will likely be looking for playing time in Romania after not being drafted at all.

Summers ranks 29th all-time in scoring at Georgetown (1,129 points), seventh in three-pointers made (141), eighth in three-pointers attempted (403), and helped lead the Hoyas to three straight postseason appearances (two NCAA Tournaments, one NIT).

More to follow tomorrow. 

Hoya Saxa.

RIP MJ.

Casually.

Fitting End

Summers, despite so much hype, fails to live up to expectations… in the NBA Draft

Good talk.

DeJuan, Meet Karma. Karma, Meet DeJuan

Back in early April, when DeJuan Blair announced his decision to go pro, he had this to say:

“I’m an Internet freak,” Blair said. “I go on all the draft boards. No one has me going in the second round. That’s almost a guarantee to me.”

Lesson to all – don’t base a million dollar decision on the results of a Google search on your name.

Good talk.

Haha

I want to see Summers succeed obviously, but he really could’ve used another year in school. Or he should’ve just left after his sophomore season.
