"I think the workout went pretty
well," said a modest Greenup. "I hit a lot of shots and blocked a lot
of shots. I just did what I usually do."
Greenup was named All-CIAA and CIAA Defensive Player of the Year. The Baton Rouge, LA native led the nation in field goal percentage (.709), while averaging 20.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game. He was the only player in the country ranked in the top 30 in those categories.
The NBA Draft will be held June 24 in New York City at Madison Square Garden.
