Rumor has it as follows:
1.) Uthoff
2.) Gessell
3.) White
4.) Marble
If true, we must have a genius of a coach that got the #1 selection. WOW.

In 2001, Michael Jordan was the President of the Washington Wizards. He picked Kwame Brown with the #1 overall pick in the draft that year. Needless to say, Mr Brown didn't exactly have much of an NBA career by all accounts, and was a bust at the #1 pick. Whereas that draft was not the strongest in the history of the NBA, it certainly did not warrant Brown as the #1 pick. The same "joke" is being made this year with Jordan owning the #2 pick in this years draft. God know what he's gonna do with it.

I'm not sure how a PTL coach selects Uthoff, an unproven player at the D1 level, over guys like Marble, White, Basabe, etc.

Call me an idiot. Just my opinion.

"Let's not forget Cougill was a one time first overall pick for the PTL, as well."
 
Stiles has the complete list:

HAWKEYES IN THE PTL (team in parentheses):
1st (overall pick) — Jarrod Uthoff (Merchants/Gatens)
2nd — Mike Gesell (Armstrong/Skogman)
3rd — Aaron White (Culver’s/Ready Mix)
4th — Devyn Marble (Pelling/McCurry’s)
6th — Eric May (Culver’s/Ready Mix)
7th — Melsahn Basabe (Armstrong/Skogman)
8th — Zach McCabe (Merchants/Gatens)
9th — Adam Woodbury (Merchants/Gatens)
10th — Jarryd Cole* (Armstrong/Skogman)
12th — Gabe Olaseni (Pelling/McCurry’s)
14th — Anthony Clemmons (Culver’s/Ready Mix)
16th — Josh Oglesby (Merchants/Gatens)
18th — Kyle Meyer (Armstrong/Skogman)
26th — Darius Stokes (Armstrong/Skogman)
* indicates former Iowa player


 
Randy says he took Uthoff because he had him two years ago and loved him. That he's a Gordon Hayward type of player and also because it's his homecoming.

(Click on the link above for an audio interview with Randy by Stiles)
 
Why the hell would someone go to the trouble of writing an article on the PTL and then not list the 5th player taken just because its not a player on the team?
 
I'm surprised that Stokes was picked so low. A good friend of mine that used to post here under the name Herby told me that Stokes was going to have a breakout year and compete for a starting spot. I thought for sure that if he was that improved, he would surely be a top-5 pick.
