53rd overall. Happened during a commercial, so we didn't get to hear the announcement. I don't know whether to congratulate him, or not!

23rd pick in the 2nd round. 53 overall.

Excellent

 

[austour]

They gave him good coverage when they came back.

Congrats to a good guy and fine Redmen!!!

 

[romiSJU]

Congrats Sir Dom!!!'

 

[FranWho?]

Good for him, although he may have been better off as an undrafted FA, but nice to see him get the call.

 

[RedStormRising]

I have it on good authority he is going to start at SF for the Cavs!

 

[johnsliva]

Congrats to a good guy and fine Redmen!!!

Ditto

I was thinking the Cavs could have used Dom in the playoffs to guard curry or Thompson and hoped they would pick him up as a free agent. I hope he sticks as he has the heart of a lion.

rated as a B on CBS Sports:

"Tough defender who´s great at attacking on backdoor cuts. There´s a role out there for him if he can hang."

Surrounded by some F's, so glad they liked the pick. The small ball finals allowed LeBron to show how unstoppable he was, but also showed they needed some more guys who could attack. I think he sticks with the team.

Awesome. Finally a St John's guy in the NBA I can root for. I have no idea what the Cavs will look like next year. Will Shumpert and JR still be around or are they gonna dump those 2 losers and let Sir Dom take over

 

[L J S A]

Hopefully the 76ers think picking D-Lo and Greene will help them tank, and then they make the team.

 

[SJU85]

Congratulations Sir Dom. I am sure he will work hard and feel that. He can fill the niche of a tough perimeter defender that teams need.

 

[Marillac]

Congrats! Other than Philly, the Cavs might be the best chance for him to stick on a roster. They could have used him earlier this month.

Good for the Big East to get some guys drafted. We needed that. Great for St. John's to have guys in the league.

 

[mjmaherjr]

was hoping somehow he'd go to a team like a san antonio buy no doubt he will bust his ass so maybe cleveland is a good spot

 

[ADORAZ]

This is so awesome. Congrats and glad he's playing on a big time team.

Good for him, although he may have been better off as an undrafted FA, but nice to see him get the call.

Cavs may be a good spot as they can shed some of the dead wood on their bench, older guys that they refused to go to for much needed depth in finals, guys like Shawn Marion, Mike Miller and Kendrick Perkins depending on their contracts.

Dom Pointer somehow wasn't picked 1st-team All -Big East yet is an NBA Draft pick. Coaches missed the boat on that one.

As @AdamZagoria tweeted, Sir'Dominic Pointer wasn't first team All-Big East, but gets drafted. How is that possible. #sjubb
