Reece Gaines was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the First Round of the NBA Draft tonight. Reece Gaines, the #4 career scorer in University of Louisville basketball history was selected by the Orlando Magic with the #15 pick in the NBA Draft Thursday night. "It's a great feeling," Gaines told ESPN's Michele Tafoya. "[I'll] do whatever they want me to do." Gaines led Louisville back to national prominence during his senior season as the Cards finished with a 25-7 overall record, a top 20 ranking and the C-USA Tournament Title. Gaines averaged 18.2 points and 5.6 assists as a senior and projects as a versatile, athletic point guard in the NBA. Gaines becomes the first Louisville Cardinal selected in the first round of the NBA Draft since Samaki Walker in 1996. Copyright © Scout.com and InsideTheVille.com | |
