IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Chris Kingsbury wasn’t chosen in the NBA draft, but that doesn’t mean his dream is over just yet.
Kingsbury, a 6-foot-5-inch shooting guard who is skipping his senior season at Iowa, headed out Thursday for a free agent tryout this weekend with the Miami Heat.
“It made the draft go a little bit easier,” she said. “We’re thrilled. We couldn’t be happier.”
Kingsbury holds school records for three-point field goals and three-point attempts in a game (9, 19), season (117, 297) and career (226, 645), but he also was suspended three times in two years. His scoring average went from 16.8 points two seasons ago to 11.9 points last year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State guard Jami Bosley pleaded no contest to attempted theft and was sentenced Wednesday to 10 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Bosley, a freshman from Massillon, Ohio, and Scott Gradney, a freshman from Louisville, Ky., were dismissed from the team May 24, three days after they were charged in three car break-ins at a campus garage.
Gradney pleaded guilty June 7 to two counts of theft. He could face up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine on each count.
The 6-foot-1-inch Bosley started the first 18 games last season but then his playing time dropped drastically.
Gradney, a 6-foot-9-inch center, played in 20 games. The players combined to average 3.9 points a game last season.
