LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Despite the fact he is unemployed, Toronto's Olu Famutimi does not regret his decision to enter the NBA draft last month.

The 6-foot-6 guard/forward, who left the University of Arkansas after two years to try to crack the NBA, went undrafted and now is hoping to catch the attention of scouts at NBA summer leagues.

Famutimi is playing with the Raptors this week in the Los Angeles summer league and will suit up with the Utah Jazz in another league later this month.

"I was disappointed (not getting drafted), but not really disappointed at the same time," said Famutimi, who played high school basketball in Flint, Mich. "I knew it was a 50-50 chance.

"I felt like coming out. I just wanted to enter the draft."...

I've always like Olu.. no, not because he's Canadian.

I really hope he can get an invite to training camp. He is a great athlete that is developing skills. He really should have gone back to college, but with a couple years developing in the NBDL, he could turn into something.
