Werth practice facility - UConn in the NBA

[UChusky916]

I think in order it's Donyell Marshall, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Caron Butler, Emeka Okafor, Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva, Rudy Gay, Hilton Armstrong, Hasheem Thabeet, Kemba Walker, Andre Drummond, Jeremy Lamb

 

[Marat]

Who would have thought Hilton Armstrong would end up on that list ?

 

[J-dog]

Nice… take notice recruits!

 

[BUConn10]

Great move for recruiting, at the end of the day these kids come to college to get a job, and this shows our resume.

 

[Mano]

They're gonna run out of room on that wall quick.

 

[methodology]

They've had this on walls of GP for years. There a hallway in Gampel where all the coaches offices and bball offices that are lined with pictures of all the lottery picks from nba draft night.

Guess they are finishing decorating the practice facilities

 

[CL82]

The Werth training facility just gets cooler and cooler.

 

[Kitaman]

Every day at practice motivation is staring you in the face!

Nice job.

What is up with the NBA logos going up on the wall above the banners? I think I see the Lakers, Grizz and Heat so far so unless they're just putting up all of the logos, what is the significance?

It looks like they are in the process of adding more of those NBA logos. My guess is they will put one up for each team to have drafted UConn player?

The team that drafted the player? I don't know, just guessing.

If its player/team based, I wonder what Napier's logo show?

 

[intlzncster]

That's a great move adding the logo of the team that drafted them. Have recruits look up there and say, "this could be you kid".

Missing one very important one.
KO

And Bruce Kuczenski

 

[Kitaman]

Smitty was drafted and played.

I think its lottery picks only.

 

[RichZ]

I think its lottery picks only.

Yeah, I skimmed it too quickly. But KO can point to it and say, "I wasn't drafted, and I played in the league longer than some of those guys. By taking the stairs all the way."

Nice to have 'way' too many NBAers to accomodate. Us UConn fans are so spoiled and don't know it.

That's why I was thinking that it being 'team that drafted the player' wouldn't make much sense since there are so often trades on draft night. Rayray was also a draft night trade though I forget who technically drafted him

 

[Huskybass]

Just my opinion, but I think all our guys who played in the NBA should be honored,not just the lottery picks.

Need to put up another building then.

 

[Kembacity]

Need to put up another building then.

Exactly, and would you have a banner for a guy who maybe only played in a few minutes of NBA action? I think they did lottery picks so that there was a clear cut rule to make it on the wall, and a high bar set so the building wouldn't have every inch covered

 

[MilliniumPrince]

They're gonna run out of room on that wall quick.

You're gonna need a bigger wall...or smaller banners.

Drafted by twolves and immediately traded to Milwaukee for starbury
