Chris McCullough wants to bring an NBA championship to his hometown

Syracuse prospect Chris McCullough has been in New York for much of his life. He grew up in the Bronx. He went to college in northwestern New York. Now, there's a chance he ends up playing basketball back in NYC.

The Nets could end up taking McCullough with the 29th pick in the draft, and if they do, McCullough says he's particularly interested in bringing a championship to the city in which he grew up.

From NetsDaily:

McCullough is coming off an ACL tear and probably wouldn't be ready to go at the start of next season, but he's an athlete who can play as a stretch power forward for a team which could use some shooting from its bigs.
