====================

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa's Roy Devyn Marble was chosen with the 56th overall selection in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets Thursday night. The rights to Marble will ultimately be owned by the Orlando Magic due to a trade between the two teams.

Marble becomes the 52nd Iowa men's basketball player to be selected in an NBA Draft and the first since Adam Haluska in 2007 (43rd pick by New Orleans).

Marble (6-foot-6, 200 pounds) was a two-time captain and earned the team's Chris Street Award in 2014. He finished his career fifth in Iowa career scoring (1,694) and free throws made (432), sixth in assists (397) and seventh in steals (176). The Southfield, Mich., native became the first Hawkeye to amass 550+ points, 100+ rebounds, 100+ assists and 60+ steals as a senior. He is one of only two Big Ten players since 1986 to amass 1,675+ points, 375+ assists, 450+ rebounds and 175+ steals in a career.

Marble, who was a first team all-conference and all-district honoree, led the team in scoring (17.0), steals (60), 3-pointers (52) and free throws (142), and ranked second in assists (118) as a senior. He was the only player in the Big Ten to average 17 points or more and collect 60+ steals.

Iowa hasn’t had a player selected in the two-round draft in back-to-back years since 1998 (Ricky Davis, Ryan Bowen) and 1999 (J.R. Koch).

Adam Haluska was the last guy drafted by New Orleans

I'm laughing that JR Koch was actually drafted in the NBA. Good college player, nowhere NEAR NBA caliber though.

 

[Hawkeye]

wasn't he 7 foot though? anytime the NBA can get height, they go for it, you can't teach height, but you can do your best to pretty much teach anything else

Dev laded in a good spot in Orlando. Team is pretty devoid of talent at the 2 guard so he may actually have a shot at making the team.

Congrats to Marble for getting drafted. The organization continues to rebuild...hopefully, he'll make the roster.

Been removed from the sporting world this past weekend. Good to see Roy Dev landed in my hometown. I will have to attend some games this year

F'ing Nuggs draft Douggie McD and Marble and trade them both! Could have actually rooted for them this year..

Solid first summer league game for RDM. Watched a little of it, he was all over the place - steals, rebounds, assists, scoring, the whole package.
