Aldrich was the 11th overall choice in last month's draft after averaging 11.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 3.5 blocked shots during his junior season at Kansas. He was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and leaves the Jayhawks as their single season leader in blocks (125) and second all-time with 253 swats.

The 6-foot-11 center never lost a collegiate game at home, going 55-0 at Allen Fieldhouse, and was a member of the 2008 Kansas national championship squad.

Peterson has averaged 10.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 10 NBA seasons with Toronto and New Orleans. He played in 43 games last season, 39 starts, with the Hornets and averaged 7.1 points and 2.7 boards.

The Thunder made Brackins the 21st overall choice in the draft after he posted averages of 16.5 points, 8.5 boards and 2.2 helpers during his junior campaign at Iowa State. The 6-foot-10, 230 pounder started all 95 games he played in during his three years with the Cyclones.

Pondexter, the 26th overall selection, averaged 19.3 points and 7.4 rebounds for Washington in his senior season and finished his career as the Huskies all-time leader in games played, 136, and third in school history with 1,786 points.
