Fox Sports 1 “Undisputed” co-host Skip Bayless reacted to Villanova defeating Michigan Monday night 79-62, led by Donte DiVincenzo and his 31 points off the bench.
Bayless said he has watched Villanova this year and DiVincenzo always catches his eye.
“[W]hy doesn’t [DiVincenzo] get any draft buzz?” Bayless asked. “Why isn’t anybody talking about Donte DiVincenzo as a potential lottery pick? And there’s one reason and only one reason — he’s white. It’s as simple as that. He’s not black. And, again, I’m not saying this is wrong or bad. It’s just it. It’s just a fact.”

Because his parents couldn’t spell “Dante”.
Really? Its all OK? Just the way things are?
This should be brought up for discussion.

The left doesn’t even hide their view that reverse discrimination is ok.
Why is there affirmative action and quotas for the NBA so they “reflect” the racial make-up of American society in general?

It won’t be long until the majority of NBA players are foreigners.
Skip better have a dayjob to go back to.
Surely the NBA office of diversity will make sure he gets drafted! Wait, there is no such office?
Nobody cares if there’s no general “buzz” about a certain player. NBA draft scouts know who can play and who can’t.
They sure didn’t waste any time in digging up an old tweet where he paraphrased a rap song that included using the “N” word.
It's amazing. I've scanned team rosters lately and there seems to be 3-6 foreigners on most every team, out of 15 or so roster spots. And it's amazing how many of the white players in the NBA are foreigners and a big chunk of those are from eastern European countries. And all those trends are growing trends.
Europeans tend to be better at the fundamentals.
There’s still hope for the kid. He could get tattoos all over and beat the crap out of his girlfriend, then he’d be good to go.
Don’t you guys want ‘Diversity’?
I disagree with skip. Any team would love to have a white guy who can play, more potential fans.
