Carlos Medlock selected in 6th round (89th overall) by Hawks/Jazz affiliate
NEW YORK, N.Y. (EMUEagles.com) — Former Eastern Michigan University men's basketball standout Carlos Medlock (Detroit, Mich.-Murray Wright) was selected by the Utah Flash in the sixth round of the 2010 NBA Developmental League Draft as the 89th pick overall.
Medlock was one of five players from the Mid-American Conference taken in the D-League Draft, including Miami University's Kenny Hayes (2nd round), Bowling Green State University's Antonio Daniels (2nd round), the University of Akron's Jimmy Conyers (8th round) and Ohio University's Armon Bassett (8th round).
For Medlock, being drafted was the latest in a long list of accomplishments for the 6-foot guard. He was a second-team All-MAC selection in 2009-10 and was also named to the FirstEnergy MAC All-Tournament Team after turning in a spectacular performance in the tournament quarterfinal game against Akron, hitting 13-of-26 field goals, 5-of-14 three pointers, and 11-of-12 free throws for 42 points while hauling down eight rebounds, adding three assists and two steals and playing 48 minutes. His 42 points broke the EMU record for most points in a MAC Tournament game held by Earl Boykins who had 35 points (March 3, 1998 vs. Ball State). Medlock's 11 made free throws broke Boykins' EMU tourney mark of 10 set, March 5, 1996 against Kent State.
Last season, Medlock led the Eagles in scoring (16.9), three pointers made (75), free throws made (173) assists (121) and steals (50) while playing 35.2 minutes per game for the Eagles, 17-15 overall and 8-8 in MAC play, good for a tie for second in the West Division. He finished his career as the sixth-leading scorer in EMU history (1,574), the second-leading three-point shooter (213), the third-leading free-throw shooter (465), the sixth-leading assist man (400), and tied for 56th in career rebounds (327). Medlock played in 109 games, starting 108 times.
Complete rosters for the 16 D-League teams will be comprised of the players drafted Monday, Nov. 1, along with returning, affiliated and local tryout players. Rosters will be reduced from 17 players to opening-day 10-man rosters by Nov. 18 in anticipation of the tip of the NBA D-League's 10th season. Teams will play preseason games between Nov. 9 and 17.
