J.J. Hickson was the first ACC player taken in the NBA draft Thursday night and the only one from the conference to be selected in the first round.
The first round belonged to the Pac-10, with six of the first 15 picks coming from out west and seven overall.
Three ACCers, two from Ye Olde Dominion, went in the second round. Sacramento made UVa's Sean Singletary the 42nd pick, Maryland's James Gist went 57th to San Antonio and Virginia Tech's Deron Washington was the 59th pick to Detroit.
The Charlotte Bobcats made Texas point guard D.J. Augustin the ninth overall pick, which certainly thrilled former UNC point guard Ray Felton, the Bobcats' first-rounder in 2005.
The biggest surprise of the first round had to have been Rider's Jason Thompson going 12th to Sacramento.
