It was no surprise when Ohio State guard Brice Sensabaugh declared for the NBA draft and tonight the decision paid off.
The 6-foot, 6-inch and 235 pound Florida native was selected with the 28th pick in the first round by Utah Jazz. He makes it two drafts in a row where an Ohio State player was selected in the first round following Malaki Branham last season.
Sensabaugh was fantastic in his lone season wearing the Scarlet and Gray, averaging 16.3 points and 5.4 rebounds (team leader in both) while shooting 48.2% from the field and 40.5% from three. He was named as a 3rd team All-Big Ten performer and made the All-Freshman 1st team.
