Dexter Pittman, a senior at Texas and former Longhorns center, left the NBA draft combine Friday.

His 16-year-old brother, Darius Johnson, was shot in the head and killed in a dispute in his garage in Houston on Thursday night, according to Pittman's agent Mark Bartelstein.

Johnson was one of three of Pittman's siblings. Pittman was informed that his brother was shot at 11 p.m. CT Thursday, and was told to fly home to Houston on Friday morning.

This makes me sick. Killing someone over a dispute.

I know this has nothing to do with the tragedy but I would love to see him on our team via a 2nd round pick. He'd be like Perk only the bench version.
