MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -Omar Samhan was one of the breakout stars of the NCAA tournament in March. He captivated fans with his skills on the court and his charisma and candor off of it while leading St. Mary’s to the Sweet 16.
Samhan is finding NBA executives and scouts much more difficult to charm.
Most mock drafts forecast that Samhan will not be drafted on Thursday. The talkative center says he doesn’t think he is getting the credit he deserves for an accomplished college career.
And he’s not alone.
College stars like Villanova All-American Scottie Reynolds and Kansas point guard Sherron Collins are deemed second-round picks at best. Xavier’s Jordan Crawford may fall out of the first round.
