At the beginning of last week, I mentioned that at least one Hoya would win a championship by the end of the month. And sure enough, Jonathan Wallace and Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje won the Basketball Bundesliga championship, edging out Brandon Bowman’s Telekom Baskets Bonn in the decisive Game 5.

The 2009 NBA Draft took place last night, and junior DaJuan Summers was picked in the 2nd round by the Detroit Pistons. He was the 35th overall pick after Oklahoma’s Blake Griffin was picked 1st by the L.A. Clippers – as we predicted once they got the top pick – and Big East co-Player of the Year Hasheem Thabeet was picked 2nd by the Memphis Grizzlies.
According to The Baltimore Sun, DaJuan was excited to be picked by Detroit and said, That’s where I wanted to go… I told Joe Dumars I wanted to be a Piston.” The Pistons considered taking DaJuan with their 1st round pick, but opted instead for Gonzaga’s Austin Daye.
After a season with the Pistons, Allen Iverson is now an unrestricted free agent, so it doesn’t look like DaJuan will team up with another Hoya this season.

Georgetown has just announced that Michael Brennan is joining the Men’s Basketball Staff as an Assistant Coach, replacing Robert Burke. Brennan worked with Coach Thompson at Princeton, and was most recently assisting at American University.

I woke up this morning thinking to myself, “Now that the Lakers have won the NBA Championship – and Patrick Ewing and the Magic have not – it looks like no Hoya will end up a league champion this year.”
Then I thought, “Wait a second, that’s not true. There’s still the European leagues.” And sure enough, GUHoyas posted yesterday that no less than three Georgetown players would be competing in the German Basketball Bundesliga’s championship game last night.
