Good quality. Bob Costas with the play by play.

Who the hell lets a 7 foot 2 center go until the 7th round?

I'm guessing since he had already signed an ABA contract it was a "Hey, might as well see if he'll come here" type of pick. Similar to baseball players that are very obviously not going to sign and instead go to college so they go way later than they probably should.
