Solomon Alabi - C - Pelicans

Raptors second-round C Solomon Alabi, who suffers from Hepatitis B, is not expected to be hampered at all by his illness.

Alabi essentially has an inflammation of the liver, a condition he has lived with since birth. "He has been checked out thoroughly by our doctors," Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo said. Regardless, it's the main reason Alabi dropped to No. 50 overall. If healthy, the Raptors got a steal.

Solomon Alabi - C - Pelicans

Florida State C Solomon Alabi reportedly slipped to No. 50 overall in the draft because of a positive test for Hepatitis B.

It's unclear how the condition will affect Alabi's basketball career, but it's obvious that teams were concerned. Guys that go 7'1 with upside don't last until the end of the second round for no reason. It's a situation to monitor.
