I will very interested to see how Derrick stacks up against other top shooters from the senior ranks.
Also, that press release gave me a twinge of sadness while running down his accomplishments, notably that he finished ONE assist short of 1000/500/500. Can we get the SID to retroactively attribute another dime to his name?

1 assist shy of beating the ducks.

Doesn't appear to be a comprehensive list out yet but from various university press releases, I found:
- Derrick Walton - Michigan (duh)
- Peter Jok - Iowa
- DeWayne Russell - Grand Canyon
- Torian Graham - Arizona St
- Naz Mitrou-Long - Iowa St
In the process of searching I ran across a blast from the past on, of all places, the Georgia State athletics website:
Facing off in the Vegas.com Men’s Slam Dunk Championship are Notre Dame’s Russell Carter, Long Beach State’s Louis Darby, Rutgers’ Adrian Hill, Chicago State’s Royce Parran, Georgia native Brent Petway of Michigan, Texas A&M’s Marlon Pompey, Weber State’s David Patten and Georgia Tech’s Mario West.

Gets a lot of lift on his threes. I think this might not be built for him. Hope to see him crush it though!
Are you sure that article wasn't from 2005???
The article I linked to is from 2007.
I hope Walton goes to the competition with the winged helmet shaved into his hair like Petway did.
AIR GEORGIA
