Here’s a little round up of what’s been said and posted about Roy around the internet the past couple days:

• Luke Byrnes from HoopsWorld.com is asking if Roy will be able to become an impact player.
• Jeff Rabjohns from IndyStar.com talks about Hibbert’s great mentors from Georgetown and the tradition of excellent big men.
• And both the Hoya’s new blog and the Voice’s blog are showing a video of Roy at the Pacers’ Fan Jam.

Hopefully Roy will be making many more headlines once the NBA season begins.

• Midnight Madness took place this Friday, with everything you would expect – dunking, dancing, and some surprise guests including Jerry Rice, Dikembe Mutombo, and Jeff Green’s Mom.
• Roy Hibbert’s Indiana Pacers jersey was added to the wall in McDonough, the first new jersey since Jeff Green last year. There was no unveiling of Patrick Ewing Jr.’s Knicks jersey yet.

The NBA season tips off on October 28th. It’s easy to miss some of the transactions in the NBA during the off-season, so here is a list of all of the Hoyas in the league. Naturally, all of this is subject to change, but here’s what we have right now.

The 2008 NBA Draft took place last night in New York, and two Hoyas got their name called by David Stern. First, Roy Hibbert was drafted by the Toronto Raptors as the 17th pick of the night with a trade to the Indiana Pacers completed later last night. Then in the second round, the Sacramento Kings drafted Patrick Ewing, Jr. with the 43rd overall pick.

Be sure to check out all of our draft coverage here: Mike’s article on withdrawal day, Tony’s article on the future of Hoyas in the pros, Johnny’s Eyeball to Eyeball on why not to draft Roy, and the list of all Hoyas ever drafted.

If you’re like me, you used to like the NBA, but now you don’t. That was back in the days when teams tried to build success around drafted players instead of relying solely upon free agency. Well, now that the Celtics have become world champions thanks to free agency, it’s another tough blow for old-time NBA fans. So, if you’re like me it’s time to move into what ever century this is, and accept the fact that it’s a new day.

Yesterday was a big day for college basketball fans. June 17th was the deadline for college students to withdraw their name from the NBA draft and still retain their eligibility. For Hoya fans, there was little drama, as they could watch the last minute decisions with relative ease. Of course, there was some excitement, but the relief of Joe Alexander’s departure to the NBA or the return of a powerful UNC lineup probably did not cause Georgetown fans to lose any sleep. It was a different story last year.
