Men's basketball team reflects on replacing Tyler Honeycutt, Malcolm Lee

Nov. 15 – Recent negotiation sessions have ended without a new deal between the NBA players’ union and the team owners, and with the NBA lockout still in effect, two former UCLA students are out of work. Last year, then-sophomore Tyler Honeycutt and then-junior Malcolm Lee each decided to take their talents to the NBA and entered the draft with hopes of being first-round picks. Not only did they slip to the second round, and out of the guaranteed money zone, they entered an NBA that is in the midst of a collective bargaining dispute.

Games in November have already been canceled, and the rest of the season is in jeopardy. Honeycutt and Lee cannot even set foot in the gyms of their new teams. Although they can’t come back to school and play for UCLA ever again, their former teammates still show them support and have nothing but gratitude for these two former Bruins who used to call Westwood home.
