NEW YORK -- The Philadelphia 76ers used their third pick in the NBA draft Thursday night to take 6-11 Duke center Jahlil Okafor. He averaged 18 points and 9 rebounds a game while being named ACC player of the year.
With their tenth pick, the Miami Heat took Duke small forward Justise Winslow. He averaged 12.6 points and 6.5 rebounds a game for the national champion Blue Devils.
Cleveland took Tyus Jones at No. 24 - though his rights were later dealt to Minnesota.
Duke's Quinn Cook wasn't selected for the draft. The 6'2", 185-pound guard has committed to play in the summer league with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
