roots 1958 NBA Draft - The Draft ReviewBrother: Bob Marske

Draft Note: Selection was made under the premise that Marske was a collegiate senior. Marske was still a high school senior in 1954-55. By the NBA's eligibility rules of being 4 years removed from your high school class, the pick should have been made ineligible. No correction was ever made by the NBA so the pick remained valid.
