Virginia Union University's Luqman Jaaber, who captained the Panthers to the Division II National Title this past basketball season, has been drafted by the Gainesville Knights of the World Basketball Association.

 

Jaaber, who led the nation with an 89.9 percent free throw average, was chosen in the fourth round of the WBA draft.  The 5-10 senior was the 39th pick overall.

 

VUU defeated Bryant University in the championship of the Elite Eight in Grand Forks, N.D., last month.  Jaaber has most recently played in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.
