Former LSU star and Atlanta Hawks rookie Skylar Mays scored his first NBA points during Thursday's loss to the Jazz.

Mays had a chance to sink an open three-pointer but followed up and got his own rebound which led to a foul and two points at the free-throw line.

The Hawks selected Mays in the second round of the NBA Draft with pick No. 50.

Congrats to Skylar. You can see his teammates are happy for him too. He’ll have a long career. Nobody can possibly not like the guy.

Maybe I don't listen to enough LSU Sports Radio, but does that announcer sound a little like Chris Blair to anyone else? Also, congrats to Skylar. He was what all student-athletes should hope to become. Very smart, got a great degree and also a great athlete that is getting his shot at the highest level of his sport. Anyone who isn't a star in their sport who is a surefire pro should aspire to be like Skylar.

They can downvote all they like. That’s tough to argue with.
