Men's Basketball

Former UMass basketball star Stephane Lasme improved his draft stock considerably after his strong performances at the NBA Pre-Draft Camp in Orlando, Fla this past week.
Lasme was thought to be a possibility in the late second round, but is now expected to be a lock for the second stanza in the NBA Draft held on June 28. According to ESPN.com's Chad Ford, Lasme essentially "shored" up his selection in the second round due to his impressive display on the defensive end during the camp.
Additonally, Lasme climbed to the 55th spot in Ford's Top 100 Draft-eligible prospects. He had previously been at number 79.
The Portland Trailblazers have four picks in the second round, so one highly possible scenario has Lasme going to them with one of them. But that is purely speculation on my part.
My guess is that a solid team in need of a shot-blocking extraordinaire will call Lasme's name on June 28 -- somewhere in the late second round.
