" Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie thought they had left Georgia to pursue their NBA dreams separately. As it turns out, they'll be reunited in Los Angeles after the Bulldogs' star players were both drafted in the second round by the Clippers.

Thompkins, a 6-9, 240-pound power forward from Lithonia, was the first to go, but not until the37th pick. His call came at 10:45 p.m., or three hours and forty-five minutes after the NBA Draft show on ESPN began.

The call for Leslie, a 6-4 guard from Decatur, came 10 picks and nearly a half-hour later.

"Congrats to Trey and Travis on being drafted," Georgia coach Mark Fox said via his Twitter account. "Never thought I'd say I was going to cheer for the Clippers. . . . I will now."

Thompkins (17 points/8 rebounds) and Leslie (14/7) were the Bulldogs' leading scorers and rebounders last season. In L.A. they'll join star forward Blake Griffin and fellow Atlanta native and second-year pro Al-Farouq Aminu of Norcross."
