Fredette finished his collegiate career as the all-time leading scorer in both BYU and Mountain West Conference history (2,599). He was selected 10th overall in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. Fredette played five seasons in the NBA with three organizations (Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans) and most recently appeared in two preseason games with the San Antonio Spurs.

Westchester selected J'Mison Morgan (6-11, 275) with its second pick (23rd overall).
