Marcus Zegarowski became Creighton’s fourth men’s basketball player in seven years to be selected in the NBA Draft on Thursday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., when the 6-foot-2 point guard was drafted No. 49 overall by the Brooklyn Nets.
Zegarowski is the second Creighton product ever drafted by the Nets franchise, joining Kyle Korver who was picked 51st in 2003. Past players selected 49th overall in the NBA Draft include James Jones (2003) and Eddie Johnson (1977).
A Hamilton, Mass., native, Zegarowski averaged 15.8 points and 4.2 assists per game as a junior. He led the BIG EAST with 80 three-pointers and 2.76 three-pointers per game en route to First Team All-BIG EAST accolades, as well as All-District plaudits from the NABC and USBWA. Zegarowski also named an Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated Press following the season after earning Preseason First Team All-America acclaim by Basketball Times, Blue Ribbon CBB Yearbook and Stadium.
