Antanas Kavaliauskas to Houston

Terrance Harris of the Houston Chronicle blogs that the Rockets have offered Texas A&M's former 6'11 forward a contract as an undrafted free agent. As a fan of AK during his time at A&M, I hope he is able to find a niche with the Rockets, and stick with their team.

Acie Law is a lottery pick, taken #11 by Atlanta

Former Texas A&M point guard Acie Law was the #11 pick of the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft, becoming Texas A&M's highest ever draft pick.
The Atlanta-Journal Constitution has a nice article about Atlanta's two lottery picks, Law and Florida's Al Horford (picked #3 overall).

The Dallas Morning News has coverage of the Big 12's showing in the lottery (3 players taken in the first 13 picks) , including the following quotes from Law:

"We talked about that coming into the draft, the opportunity that we had to
have three players go in the lottery," Law told the Kansas City Star. "It just
speaks volumes of the talent that is in that conference.

"I think this is not the [last] time you're going to see three players get
drafted in the lottery. I think there are a lot of talented players left in that
conference, and people are going to find out."

Sounds like Acie believes we'll still have plenty of terrific players to watch next season, and in the years to come.
