Joshua Cornell Selby[1] (born March 27, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for Pieno žvaigždės Pasvalys of the Lithuanian Basketball League. He played one year of college basketball with the Kansas Jayhawks before being selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 49th pick in the 2011 NBA draft.

High school and recruitment

[edit]

Selby attended Lake Clifton High School in Baltimore for his senior year, having previously attended DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland and The John Carroll School in Bel Air, Maryland. He averaged 32 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals per game during his senior season.[2]

Selby originally committed to play for the University of Tennessee but decommitted in July 2009.[3] On April 17, 2010, Selby committed to the Kansas Jayhawks at the 2010 Jordan Brand Classic at Madison Square Garden live on ESPN2. Selby picked the Jayhawks over a final list of teams including Kentucky, UConn, Arizona and Tennessee. Selby was the highest-rated player ever signed by Kansas coach Bill Self[4] as he was the #1 rated recruit on the recruiting website Rivals.com.[5]

He was named a 2010 McDonald's All-American and scored 13 points for the East team in the game.[6] Selby was also the winner of the dunk contest before the game.[7]

College career

[edit]

On December 18, 2010, following a nine-game suspension Selby joined the 2010–11 Jayhawks, scoring 21 points in 27 minutes and making 5 of 8 three-point shots.[8] While Selby sat out, Kansas led the country in many statistical categories.[citation needed] As a result of his suspension and later injuries, Selby played in only 26 of the team's 38 games and averaged only 14 minutes per game after returning from injury. For the season, he averaged 7.9 points and 2.2 assists in 20.4 minutes per game.

Controversy

[edit]

After choosing to attend Kansas, a report said Selby had not yet been cleared to play by the NCAA.[9] According to this report, the NCAA had been investigating for months the relationship between Selby and Robert "Bay" Frazier, the business manager for New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony. Selby had acknowledged a friendship with Anthony in past interviews and spoke of his contact with Frazier in an April story in The New York Times. All three are Baltimore natives. Maeshon Witherspoon, Selby's mother, told The Times that she had known Bay since elementary school and had asked him to serve as an adviser during his college recruitment.[10] The Times report said Witherspoon asked Frazier to host Selby's in-home visits with college coaches at his own home and that Frazier attended a KU–Missouri game at Allen Fieldhouse in January 2009.

On November 21, 2010, the NCAA made its final ruling on the matter, suspending Selby for nine games and ordering him to pay $4,607.58, the total of the "improper benefits" received from Frazier, to the charity of his choice.[11]

NBA teams were reluctant to draft Selby due to a perceived selfish style of play and negative attitude off the court.[12]
