William Paterson guard Horace Jenkins was not the second Division III player to be selected in the NBA draft in the last three seasons.

The D3hoops.com first team All-American, who led the Pioneers to two Final Four appearances and national runner-up status this spring, was hoping to join Augsburg alum Devean George as the only Division III players drafted in the past decade. There were a total of 58 selections made Wednesday night.

But all hope is not lost. Jenkins, who "has worked very hard to get to this point," according to William Paterson head coach Jose Rebimbas, is in the Orlando Magic rookie camp.

Lebanon Valley's Andy Panko, who was in the same class as George but not drafted, has spent two seasons in the Lakers' training camp and the IBL. He will report to the Chicago Bulls' camp this fall. George, as the only Division III player ever taken in the first round, has one season left on a guaranteed three-year contract with the Lakers.
