The NBA Draft took place on Thursday at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. Former Kentucky Wildcats superstar Anthony Davis was the top pick after being selected by the New Orleans Hornets. Fresh off leading the Cats to the national title, Davis is the clear cut prize of this year's NBA draft class. The rest of the draft yielded some surprises.

Bishop Gorman Senior Shabazz Muhammad has been on every NCAA basketball recruiting board this year. The #1 player in high school basketball for the class of 2012, Muhammad has showcased day in day out why he is number one.

With a 6'6" frame and weighing in at 215, Muhammad is not only ready for college ball with his skill set, but his body is physically ready as well. He possesses range with a very consistent jump-shot and is a very good rebounder and natural scorer. Opponents shouldn't sleep on his strength and
athleticism.

The top two high school basketball recruits in the nation, Shabazz Muhammad and Nerlens Noel, announced where they would be playing their college ball on ESPNU Wednesday night.

And the first prize goes to...UCLA

The UCLA Bruins basketball team shrugged off the recent controversy surrounding the state of the program to defeat the conference leading Washington Huskies 75-69 at Pauley Pavilion last Saturday. Amid the media storm, head coach Ben Howland’s job security has never been more tenuous. Rest assured, if the Bruins were making Final Fours like they used to under Howland, there would be no controversy.
