NEW YORK -- Between the 15th and 16th picks in Thursday nights draft came a very special selection by the NBA. Commissioner Adam Silver announced at that point that the NBA would let Isaiah Austin fulfil the dream of every young player, making him a ceremonial pick. Just over a week ago, the sophomore centre from Baylor was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the heart. It ended his playing career. The illness was discovered during a physical for the draft. "For Commissioner Silver to even invite me here was a tremendous blessing and it just shows how much class that man has," Austin said. "Its really been a tough week for me, and its been really rough. Ive just had a tremendous amount of support from everybody around the world, telling me theyre praying for me and everything. I cant thank everybody enough." The crowd at Barclays Center rose to its feet as Austin, sitting in the waiting area with most of the first-round picks, hugged family members and put on a generic NBA cap. He went up to the stage and posed with Silver, just as all the drafts picks do when they are called. During the season, the 7-foot-1 Austin revealed he had a prosthetic right eye after multiple operations couldnt repair a detached retina. Austin, expected to be a high pick when healthy, said he felt he has "a great story to share." He said Baylor coach Scott Drew has already offered him a coaching position with the Bears. "I have a whole life ahead of me," Austin said. "Im not going to sit here and Im not going to sulk about not being able to play basketball anymore, because I can still be involved with the game somehow or some way." Austin said there was plenty to enjoy on what would have been his draft day. "Just being around all the draftees and seeing my friends get drafted, it just brings joy in my heart because I know how hard we work to get to this point," Austin said. "Ive been through it. ... Just to see how people persevere through their own problems, because everybody has their own problems. Its touching and its heart-warming, really." Minutes after Austin made the walk across the stage, there were comments on social media. Kevin Love of the Minnesota Timberwolves tweeted: "Happy Isaiah Austin was able to hear his name called at the NBA draft. Very cool to see." The 1991 Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard tweeted: "Adam Silver hasnt been on the job 12 mos and is already doing a remarkable job! Very classy move. God bless Isaiah Austin." Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder tweeted: "Adam silver is such a classy man! Thats love right there. Im emotional for him. Damn I love that." Austin is already spreading his message of perseverance. "I want people to know they can push through anything, because Ive done it," he said. "I just want them to know they have the power within themselves to do it if they keep faith and a positive attitude." Authentic NCAA Jerseys .

CRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland -- Craig Lee of Scotland fired a 10-under 61 to surge into a two-shot lead after the third round of the European Masters on Saturday. Lee birdied the first six holes, and had 11 birdies overall, to equal the lowest round in a European Tour event this year. That gave the 348th-ranked Lee a 16-under total of 197. Three players were tied for second: Thomas Bjorn, the 2011 champion from Denmark, Alejandro Canizares of Spain and Victor Dubuisson of France. Lee, who has never won a European Tour event, said it was "comfortably my best round ever." "It was surreal to see all these great golf shots go down on the same day," said the Scot, who birdied nine of the first 10 holes and briefly threatened to shoot the first ever 59 on the European circuit. Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain, the 2010 champion, and Tommy Fleetwood of England both shot 69 to sit five shots behind Lee in a tie for fifth place. Lee covered the outward nine in 28 strokes, equaling the best this year on the European Tour, by Chinnarat Phadungsil of India at the Avantha Masters in New Delhi. Only Phadungsil and Tiger Woods, at the Bridgestone Invitational -- an event co-sanctioned by the European Tour -- shot 61 this year bbefore Lee matched them.dddddddddddd "It was pretty special. You get off to a start like that and it steadies the nerves," said Lee, whose card was blemished by a bogey at the par-14 12th after pushing his tee shot into trees on the right. He came straight back with two more birdies, including an 8-footer on the par-3 13th to bring the elusive 59 into sight. "The 59 crept into my head coming up the second par 5, at the 15th," acknowledged Lee, who made pars on the last four holes. Asked how he would prepare for the last days play as leader, Lee joked: "I dont know, Ive never done it before." Lee was playing with an injured left hip which he said was heavily taped, and revealed he was more concerned recently with retaining his tour status for next season. "Its pretty tough to change your mindset overnight," said Lee, who is 108th on the European money list. The winners prize on Sunday is 366,660 euros ($483,000). On another day of low scoring in the Swiss Alps thin air and sunshine, Ross Fisher of England shot 63 to be 10 under, six behind Lee. Fisher was joined by American Brooks Koepka, who went round in 69. Richard Finch of England made a hole-in-one at the 208-yard 13th. ' ' '
