Aldridge Becomes Top NCAA Player in Draft, Maybe: After weeks of speculation, the Toronto Raptors stuck to their word and drafted Italy’s Andrea Bargnani with the first pick in last night’s NBA Draft. Bargnani becomes the first European player selected No. 1 in the NBA Draft. Immediately following Bargnani, former Texas forward LaMarcus Aldridge became the first NCAA player picked in the draft when the Chicago Bulls selected him. But in a night featuring more than a dozen trades, Aldridge quickly moved to another team — the Portland TrailBlazers. It turns out Chicago had its eyes set on former LSU Tiger Tyrus Thomas, which Portland selected on Chicago’s behalf at No. 4. So does that make Aldridge or Thomas the most coveted NCAA player?
