Two other in-state players have signed with NBA teams following the NBA Draft conclusion last night.
Iowa Guard Peter Jok signed a deal with the New Orleans Pelicans to play on their summer league squad in Las Vegas. They begin play on July 7th. Jok led the Big Ten in scoring at 19.9 points per game last season and shot 41.3% from the field for his career.
Iowa State Forward Deonte Burton has agreed to join the Minnesota Timberwolves according to his agent. Burton led the Cyclones with 6.2 rebounds per game and also averaged 15.1 points per game in his only full season as a Cyclone.
Iowa State’s Monte Morris is now a member of the Denver Nuggets. Morris was selected in the second round with the 51st pick in the 2017 draft.
The Flint, Michigan native was an All-American for the Cyclones as a senior when he averaged 16.5 points per game. He is the NCAA all-time single-season and career leader in assist to turnover ratio.
Morris is the 38th former Cyclone to be drafted. Iowa State has had 11 players drafted since the Big 12 Conference was formed in 1996. This is the second consecutive year a Cyclone has been taken in the second round after Georges Niang was selected by the Indiana Pacers last year.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Sean Wymer struck out national player of the year Brendan McKay in two key situations while pitching 4 1/3 innings of shutout relief, and TCU was on the right side of two close plays in a 4-3 win over Louisville in a College World Series elimination game Thursday night.
The Horned Frogs (49-17) jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead, with one of their runs coming on a play at the plate that withstood a video review. Wymer (6-4) limited the Cardinals (53-12) to two hits after they had pulled within a run on McKay’s 18th homer of the year and Logan Taylor’s first homer in 123 games.
McKay came up two more times with chances to tie the game or give Louisville the lead, but Wymer struck him out to end the fifth and eighth innings. Louisville coach Dan McDonnell was ejected in the eighth for arguing a call at second base.
TCU, which took a 4-0 lead in the second inning against Nick Bennett (5-1), advances to the Bracket 2 final needing to beat Florida on Friday night and again Saturday to reach the best-of-three championship series for the first time.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Aaron Nola pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning, Freddy Galvis and Tommy Joseph homered, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Thursday to stop a five-game losing streak.
Joseph drove in three runs as Philadelphia, a major league-worst 23-48, won for just the second time in 15 games. Nola (4-5) allowed one run, four hits and two walks in 7 1/3 innings and struck out eight.
Paul DeJong homered on a hanging curveball leading off the eighth, pulling the Cardinals to 3-1, and Matt Carpenter walked with one out. Pat Neshek relieved and got Tommy Pham to ground into an inning-ending double play, and Luis Garcia followed with a perfect ninth.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid has signed a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reid, 59, was entering the final year of a five-year deal. The terms of the extension were not announced Thursday.
Reid has a 43-21 record and three playoff appearances in four years with the Chiefs, who won the AFC West last season. He is entering his 19th season as an NFL head coach, the first 14 with Philadelphia. He has a regular-season record of 173-114 and has won 184 games including the playoffs, the second-most victories among active NFL coaches behind Bill Belichick.
With the Eagles, Reid reached one Super Bowl, losing to New England.
MIAMI (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have demoted struggling slugger Kyle Schwarber to Triple-A Iowa. Schwarber, the fourth overall pick in the 2014 amateur draft, is batting just .171 with 12 homers and 28 RBIs in 64 games. There was no immediate announcement of a corresponding move.
Schwarber made his major league debut in 2015 and hit .246 with 16 homers and 43 RBIs in 69 games. He missed most of last season with a leg injury after a frightening outfield collision, then returned in October to help the Cubs win the World Series for the first time since 1908.
Chicago is 36-35 heading into Thursday night’s game at Miami.
The Atlantic Baseball game at home against Glenwood tonight will now be Varsity first at 5:30pm due to the possibilty of rain later. JV will follow the Varsity game weather permitting. Due to the time change KJAN will no longer be able to broadcast the game as we had planned.
