Tar Heel Pros News & Notes

The Milwaukee Bucks made David Noel's dream come true when they selected the North Carolina small foward in the second round with the 39th overall pick. "It was nerve-racking, but once they called my name, I just put my head down and started to cry," said Noel about the moment when his dream was realized. Noel met the media in Milwaukee on Thursday. He thinks he'll fit in the NBA as a cross between the "excitable" Desmond Mason, a former Bucks player now with the Hornets, and San Antonio Spurs defensive specialist Bruce Bowen.
