Josh Messervy

2000 ABA Draft
A highly anticipated prospect coming out of high school, Messervy was the first overall pick in the draft, drafted by the Boston Bandits. He was unable to reach an agreement with them, so he went to college for a single year.

Philadelphia Freedom (2002-
A year after failing to reach an agreement with Boston, Messervy was again drafted first overall in the 2001 ABA Amateur Draft, but this time by the Philadelphia Freedom. They agreed to a contract and he was sent to the team's reserve roster. The best prospect in ABA, Messervy spent the majority of the season on the reserve roster, but appeared in one game, with two at-bats. He hopes that he will play more in 2003.
