We have more players in the NBA than NC State unless you count Caleb Martin.
And none of ours have ever claimed to be amphibious that I know of.

I was at that game. Of course missed the interview as traveling back home with my dad. Shackelford was dominant that day.. ACC Tournament.

It looks like he made the roster so if he is still with them on that date I think we need to try to get a group to go. I would be down for sure.

The Alumni group is setting up a Hornets event on the date that coincides with the Suns being in town.

Pretty crazy that he’s worked his way into an NBA contract and team. Who would have guessed this even his junior year?

What an incredible achievement for him and a feather in the cap of the program.

Wishing him all the success and a long career in the nba.

Really proud of CJ, DK and App generally. What a great role model and representative of our university. I'll always pull for him.

No App State alum has played in an NBA game since Belus Smawley for the Washington Bullets in 1952.
This is an incredible note. Knew I couldn't remember anyone from App making the league, but even I wouldn't have guessed it's been that long.

So excited for CJ...could not have happened to a better person. I hope he makes some money and has some fun. He worked HARD for that roll. He never quit working. He should be an inspiration to a lot of players/students/alumni. Also, great job by Kerns keeping him home for those years. CJ Huntley is personification of "take the stairs".

App has had players drafted back when the NBA Draft was more than 2 rounds, but they never made it to the association.

Just checked the roster for the Suns G League team the Valley Suns and the roster for the Phoenix Suns. CJ does not appear on either roster. Does anyone have any info on him?

He got waived a couple days ago as they brought in a new two-way player.

Just Googled (my apologies, New App) Bright Side of the Sun and they hope to find a way to keep him on the Valley Suns roster.

As if we needed any more disappointment this week.

I thought Chilli Payton had a few games in the NBA in the mid-80s.
