Two Jayhawks went off the board in day two of the NBA's annual draft.
Two former Kansas Jayhawks now have their first professional homes. San Antonio selected freshman Johnny Furphy with the No. 35 pick and then sent to Indiana, while Kevin McCullar was taken by the Phoenix Suns at pick No. 56 before being sent to the New York Knicks.
Indiana is a team on the rise, making a run in the playoffs while leading the league in points per game and field-goal percentage last season. And coming in as potential small forward, Furphy fills a need as a wing who can shoot, which is something the Pacers lack with Aaron Nesmith.
