The 6-foot-7 swingman wasn't selected in this week's two-day NBA Draft.
Just 43 college players were drafted in the NBA's 60 available slots this week as the league continues to turn ever more international in filling out its rosters, and one of those left behind was former University of Washington forward Keion Brooks, forcing him take a different pro basketball route.
Brooks likely never envisioned he wouldn't be drafted after playing three seasons at Kentucky and the past two with Washington, and having a certain measure of success.In two seasons with the Huskies, Brooks averaged 19.4 points per game, including 21.1 an outing this past year for a 17-15 team. As one of the conference's better players, he was named to the All-Pac-12 first team.
