Hope they don't sell info to the Mississippi State coach. And yes, I'm only trying to be funny

Ugh... epic fail by the Rutgers PR staff. Dabney never played in the NBA. It should read:

"A couple Rutgers greats and NBA draft picks took in practice today."

Dabney was drafted in the third round of the 1976 NBA draft by the Lakers with the 36th overall pick. (Phil Sellers was drafted No. 38 by the Pistons.)

Copeland was drafted by the Nuggets in the third round with the 46th overall pick in 1978. He was cut by the Nuggets. After not playing during the 1978-79 NBA season, he was signed by the Knicks and played two seasons with New York.

In addition, if you look closely, you'll notice RU made a mistake on Eddie Jordan's placard. It states he was chosen in the third round of the 1977 draft. He was actually taken in the second round with the 33rd overall pick.

Also, Dick Stewart was not chosen in the 19th round. He was actually chosen in the 10th round with the 137th overall pick of the 1969 draft.

One more thing: it's DON Parsons, not BOB Parsons. Parsons, who died in 2019, was the grandfather of Chandler Parsons, who had a solid NBA career and was the SEC Player of the Year while playing at Florida in 2011. Also, Don was in the 1950 NBA draft, not 1947.

If they're going to take the time and effort to create and hang the placards, they should be correct, don't ya think?

If you were a member of the Parsons family, wouldn't you be miffed?

How do you think the two former players pictured would feel if the placards they were pointing to read Barry and Rod instead of Hollis and Mike? I know what I would be thinking.
