Prepping for the NBA Draft: WCC Style
By Josh Horton
Welcome to your home for the NBA draft at WestCoastConvo.com.
Many WCC players are attempting to sneak in the latter half of the second round and achieve their dreams at making it in the NBA. Who knows, maybe Sam Dower, David Stockton, Stephen Holt, Anthony Ireland or Brendan Lane could be the next Patty Mills and polarize the nation with sensational play in the NBA finals, despite being a late-round draft pick.
Anyways, make sure you read up on the prospects at the following links:
Sam Dower: Draft Profile
Stephen Holt: Draft Profile
Anthony Ireland: Draft Profile, Anthony Ireland, Despite Challenges, Embracing Draft Process

For reference here is a list of teams each player has worked out with as well.
Dower: Celtics, Wizards, Lakers, Clippers, Jazz, Raptors
Holt: Bulls, Jazz, Warriors, Kings, Cavaliers
Ireland: Lakers, Clippers

If any of the aforementioned player’s do not get drafted, there is a possibility they could be signed as undrafted free agents or be added to the summer league teams of the organizations above.
