After N.C. State's J.J. Hickson was selected by Cleveland with the 19th pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday night, it was a long wait until a second player from the Atlantic Coast Conference was chosen.

Midway into the second round, Sacramento picked Virginia guard Sean Singletary at No. 42.

The only other ACC players drafted were Maryland forward James Gist at No. 57 by San Antonio and Virginia Tech forward Deron Washington at No. 59 by Detroit.

WEST COAST BIAS: The Pac-10 was well-represented within the draft's first few picks.

Southern California's O.J. Mayo went third overall to Minnesota, followed by UCLA's Russell Westbrook to Seattle and Bruins teammate Kevin Love to Memphis at No. 5.

"I'm real proud of the Pac-10, real proud for them," said Westbrook, UCLA's highest-drafted player since Baron Davis went third overall in 1999.

Westbrook and Love are the highest UCLA duo taken since 1969, when Lew Alcindor went first overall to Milwaukee and Lucius Allen went third to Seattle.

"It's crazy," Love said of the Pac-10. "We had three of the top five picks, and I was so happy for Russell that he got picked there."

With the Lopez twins from Stanford -- Brook went 10th to New Jersey, Robin 15th to Phoenix -- Arizona's Jerryd Bayless (11th, Indiana) and California's Ryan Anderson (21st, New Jersey), and the Pac-10 had seven first-rounders.
