Jamaica's Jerome Jordon, who was on Thursday night drafted by Milwaukee Bucks, is on his way to the New York Knicks, while Ryan Reid who was drafted by Indiana Pacers has been traded to Oklahoma City Thunder.
The third Jamaican, Louisville sophomore Samardo Samuels went undrafted.
Twenty-four year old Jordon was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks as the number 44 pick in round two.
The 7 '1, 244 pound Jordon had an outstanding career at Tulsa University leading them in scoring and rebounding with 15.5 points per game and 9.1 rebounds.
Reid, a 23-year-old power forward, was selected by the Indiana Pacers as the number 57 pick in round two.
Reid who hails from Portland, attended Bethel Basic and Hill Prep Schools before migrating to the USA where he attended Fort Lauderdale Boyd Anderson College.
He was later granted a basketball scholarship to Florida State University.
Kentucky's John Wall was the overall top pick on Thursday night and was selected by the Washington Wizards.
After going undrafted, Jamaica's Samardo Samuels will try another route to the NBA.
His hope is to play in the summer league, which starts on July 9.
At least six teams have expressed interest, among them this season's beaten NBA finalists Boston Celtics.
This means Samuels will miss the men's Centro Championships in the Dominican Republic starting on July 5.
As JABA President Ajani Williams says, Samuels who was instrumental in the Caribbean Championships will be a big loss.
Another overseas based Jamaican Akeem Scott will join the team now training in Orlando, with Coach Sam Vincent.
