When i was invited to a European Leagues tryout in Birmingham after my senior year in college instead an NBA camp as a free agent - still, given that i played at a small school, i thought i did ok to accomplish that much - though a player from our league was actually drafted late by the Celtics, of all teams, the season before i arrived. his name was Pat Dennis from Washington & Lee. Auerbach picked him in like the 12th round in 1978.
