Thursday:
According to The Honolulu Advertiser, 'Iolani graduate Derrick Low, Class of 2004, has an outside chance of being invited to join the roster of an NBA club.
If so, he would be first player from Hawaii to ascend such height since Red Rocha back in the short shorts fifties.
Low recently completed his fifth pre-draft workout with the Dallas Mavericks, and according to The Advertiser, felt good about his performance. He worked hard after his final season at Washington State to prepare for the NBA drills and received positive comments on his ability to shoot on the move, his leadership and his head for the game.
He does not expect to be selected in today's draft, but is hoping for an invitation to join a team as a free agent.
