Select Alumni gets drafted in the 2nd Round of the 2008 NBA Draft
 Former Select standout Richard Dorsey fullfilled his lifelong dream by getting drafted by the Portland Trailblazers in the 2008 NBA Draft. Joey, the name he is accustomed to answer to, finished his four years at the University of Memphis by loosing a tough game in the 2008 NCAA Championship vs. Kansas. Joey began working out for a few NBA teams and was getting interest by many because of his strong body and ability to control the paint. The Portland Trailblazers drafted him 33rd and eventually traded him to the Houston Rockets. He will be joining fellow Baltimore area player, 1st Round draft pick, Donte Greene from Syracuse University. Congratulations Joey!!!
