PHOENIX (AP) -- The Phoenix Suns selected power forward Alex Oriakhi of Missouri in the second round of the NBA draft.
The 6-foot-9 Oriakhi played his first
three seasons for Connecticut and was part of the Huskies' 2011 national
championship team. He was the 57th player chosen overall.
Oriakhi averaged 11.2 points and 8.4
rebounds as a senior after transferring from UConn. He averaged 7.2
points and 6.8 rebounds in three seasons at Connecticut.
He was eligible to play at Missouri
without sitting out a season because UConn had been banned from NCAA
postseason play for the 2012-13 season.
