Where they are now.

This upcoming season will have only one starter from the 2008-09 season. That title belongs to Doneal Mack, last seasons starting shooting guard. So what happened to the other four? Only two of them were drafted, and only one of those drafted will actually be playing in the NBA next season.

Starting at point guard was Tyreke Evans. He was picked as the 4th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings. Contrary to some beliefs, he will continue to play the point guard position rather than the shooting guard position.

Robert Dozier was also drafted. He was selected by the Miami heat as the 60th overall pick in the second round, the final pick of the draft. Although coaches gave positive feedback on Dozier, he apparently felt that he would not recieve adequate playing time. He has since decided to spend the next season developing his skill in Greece. The team he plays for is called Colossus.

Antonio Anderson was not drafted during the 2009 NBA draft. Nevertheless, he spent the summer working towards his goal, and he has been picked up by the Charlotte Bobcats. He believes defense will still be his strong point in the NBA.

Shawn Taggart also left after last season. There are whispers that he is playing professionally in Europe.
