Former Alabama guard John Petty jr. saw two two of his former Crimson Tide teammates get drafted last night, Josh Primo to the San Antonio Spurs, and Herb Jones to the New Orleans Pelicans. Petty, however, did not hear his name called.
Well, Petty did not have to wait long to receive an opportunity. He will be reportedly joining the Detroit Pistons Summer League roster, a chance for him to show the organization he is able to contribute.
Jonathan Skinner of WBRC news in Birmingham reported the news, but claims Alabama coach Nate Oats was the one to make it public.
