Nothing is more exciting for a young hoops player than to be selected in the NBA Draft.
ESPN.com and NBA.com chronicled one of the greatest nights in the lives of these talented young
men, chatting with them moments after they were chosen in the 2007 NBA Draft.
Read the chat transcript for the No. 10 pick of the draft and new Sacramento Kings player, Spencer Hawes and see how he reacted.
Stockton, CA: Hey question for Spencer Hayes. How do you think you and Brad Miller will work together?
Spencer Hawes: (9:34 PM ET ) I think definitely our games are similar and they will complement each other. He'll play in the high post and I'll play down low. It will be an effective combination.
Mike Detroit, MI: Who do you look forward to playing against the most in the nba?
Spencer Hawes: (9:35 PM ET ) Tim Duncan. From what he's been able to accomplish and watching his game it would be a great challenge.
J (Flower Mound, TX): Spencer, what kind of impact do you think you'll have in Sac-town?
Spencer Hawes: (9:36 PM ET ) I hope to come in and contribute in whatever way to help the team win. I don't know what that will be yet, but that's something I'm looking forward to.
alex (chicago): hey spencer i was just wondering if you are happy with ending up in sacromento instead of chicago?
Spencer Hawes: (9:37 PM ET ) Definitely. I think both of those teams would have been good fits. But being in Sacramento I'm looking forward to being there and starting my career.
Spencer Hawes: (9:37 PM ET ) Thanks for the support and I look forward to Sacramento.
Buzzmaster: (9:38 PM ET ) Thanks Spencer!
