Nik Caner-Medley was not one of the 60 players chosen in  the NBA draft 
Wednesday night. The former Deering High and University of  Maryland star now hopes 
to sign as a free agent. 
Caner-Medley kept his ear to a telephone and his eyes on  the television as 
the draft continued for more than four hours, ending  around midnight. 
Surrounded by some 70 friends and family at a home in the  Portland area, 
Caner-Medley watched and waited. He had said he didn't  expect to hear his name 
called in the second round but also was prepared  for a surprise. 
Caner-Medley worked out for about eight teams in the past  few weeks, most 
recently the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston  Celtics. 
He is scheduled to be on a conference call this morning  set up by his agent, 
Mark Bartel- stein. 
Caner-Medley led Deering High to the Class A state  championship game before 
leaving for a four-year career at the University  of Maryland. 
Caner-Medley started his freshman season for Coach Gary  Williams. He led the 
Terps in scoring the past two  seasons.
