NEW YORK -- Pat Calathes was not among the 60 players chosen in tonight's NBA draft.

The St. Joe's forward/guard was hailed as a potential second-round pick, but that wasn't the case.

Calathes joins Mark Tyndale, Frank Elegar, Mike Green and Kyle Hines as local guys who will be looking for free-agent contracts beginning now.

We're out of here. More on the Sixers tomorrow.

NEW YORK -- The first round is over and the local watch begins.

Pat Calathes from St. Joe's should be the next local player to go. He could be taken sometime in the middle of the second round.

Former Penn Charter guard Sean Singletary is also a possible late selection.

Temple's Mark Tyndale, Drexel's Frank Elegar, Kyle Hines (Timbercreek/UNC-Greensboro) and Mike Green (Franklin Learning Center/Butler) will probably go undrafted, but you never know.

NEW YORK -- Darrell Arthur is the last one in the "green room" to go here at Madison Square Garden. He dropped to No. 27 because of health issues, and remember, this is a player the Sixers had thought about taking.

Other notable players who are in danger of slipping out of the first round:

-- Syracuse's Donte Greene, who left after his freshman year. 

-- Texas A&M freshman DeAndre Jordan, who worked out for the 76ers

-- Kansas guard Mario Chalmers

-- Memphis guard Chris Douglas-Roberts 

NEW YORK -- Kosta Koufos was the ninth freshman taken in tonight's first round, a new NBA record.

Koufos went No. 23 to Utah.

A list of the freshmen:

1. Derrick Rose (Chicago), 2. Michael Beasley (Miami), 3. O.J. Mayo (Minnesota), 5. Kevin Love (Memphis), 7. Eric Gordon (Los Angeles Clippers), 11. Jerryd Bayless (Indiana), 14. Anthony Randolph (Golden State), 19. J.J. Hickson (Cleveland), 23. Kosta Koufos (Utah).

NEW YORK -- One deadline down and now I'm going back through the notes. Here's the line of the night so far courtesy of O.J. Mayo (the question comes from CNBC's Darren Rovell):

Q:  Readers on my blog today said that if you go to Minnesota, they would call you The Mayo Clinic. What do you think about that?

Mayo: Yeah, my mother was telling me about that. I guess it's a pretty big-time clinic in the Minnesota area. SO hey, gotta roll with it.

The Sixers selected Florida forward Marreese Speights with the 16th overall pick in the first round of the NBA draft.

Speights was the sixth forward taken in the draft. He worked out with the Sixers on June 19.

"He can score around the basket with both hands," Sixers assistant GM Tony DiLeo said then. "He can step outside and shoot the jump shot. He's a work in progress, but a talented player."

He averaged 14.5 points and 8.1 rebounds last season, his sophomore year, while shooting better than 62 percent from the field.

Think the 76ers might have wanted Thopson instead?

NEW YORK -- It's the upset story of the draft. Lenape High and Rider standout Jason Thompson goes No. 12 to the Sacramento Kings.

He shot all the way up draft boards in the last two weeks, going from an early second-round pick to a lottery selection.

Thompson is the first player picked that's not here at MSG.

NEW YORK -- The story of the draft so far is the lack of an exciting storyline.

No trades, no surprise picks -- yet.

After Beasley went No. 2, he was followed by O.J. Mayo (Minnesota), Russell Westbrook (Seattle), Kevin Love (Memphis), Danilo Gallinari (New York), Eric Gordon (LA), Joe Alexander (Milwaukee) and D.J. Augustin (Charlotte).

Maybe the biggest surprise was Augustin, where the Bobcats could have taken a big man.

Good news for the Sixers, Love is really the only big guy off the board so far.
