Undrafted Dockery Chases NBA Dream

Steve Yingling of the DAILY TRIBUNE writes, "Even before Sean Dockery stepped inside Cameron Indoor Stadium, many American basketball crazies knew him. He was the high-scoring junior who was featured in Fox Sports' hit documentary series 'Prep Hoops' that profiled top high school players from the Chicago area."Steve Buffery of the TORONTO SUN writes, "Nobody on the Raptors was more taken aback by the Charlie Villanueva trade last week than Joey Graham. With the possible exception, of course, of Villanueva himself. 'It was a wakeup call,' Graham said yesterday, from the Raptors' rookie and free agent camp, which is being held a suburban Las Vegas high school. 'It was very weird. Strange even. But it just kind of put things in perspective and lets me know, and I'm pretty sure let Charlie know, how much of a business the league is.' "
