KU coach Self watches NBA Draft with pride

Kansas University’s basketball players gathered at coach Bill Self’s house Thursday night to watch the NBA Draft on ESPN-TV. They viewed with interest for more than four hours as KU tied UConn in 2006 and Florida in 2007 for most players selected (five) in a two-round draft.

Jayhawks make history

KU produces record five players in draft

The Kansas University basketball team scripted some suspenseful moments on the way to the 2008 national championship, and NBA Draft night turned out to be more of the same for the Jayhawks. Three dramatic storylines evolved as Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers combined to make Kansas history. For the first time since 1989, when the draft was trimmed to two rounds, more than two Jayhawks were selected in a single draft. Rush was a lottery pick, Arthur became the sympathetic figure who dropped lower than expected, and Chalmers, who will always hold a special spot in KU history, was taken in the second round.

Self confident five Jayhawks will be drafted

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self - and a bunch of NBA analysts - are certain three Jayhawks will be selected in the first round of tonight’s draft at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Where Darrell Arthur, Mario Chalmers and Brandon Rush are tapped, however, is anybody’s guess.
