Former Wolf Pack stars Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson have continued to impress team scouts and climb up in the mock drafts as they prepare for the 2010 National Basketball Association Draft.
Since making their decisions to enter the NBA Draft, the Nevada duo has spent the last month working out for teams, and both attended the NBA Draft Combine May 19-23 in Chicago.
Nevada has had 12 players drafted in the history of Wolf Pack basketball, including four in the last six years. The Wolf Pack's first-round picks have included Kirk Snyder as the 16th pick overall by the Utah Jazz in 2004 and JaVale McGee as the 18th pick by the Washington Wizards in 2008. The last time Nevada had two players drafted in the same year was in 2007 when Nick Fazekas (Dallas Mavericks) and Ramon Sessions (Milwaukee Bucks) were selected in the second round.
The 2010 NBA Draft will be held on June 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
