The hero of Barton College's basketball national championship was selected Monday to join the Harlem Globetrotters.

Guard Anthony Atkinson was picked in the first player draft ever held by the Globetrotters and is one of only five players nationwide asked to attend the team's training camp in October.

Atkinson called the selection an ideal fit for him, combining his love for basketball with his desire to mentor youth.

Atkinson's 10 points in the final 45 seconds of the NCAA Division II title game carried Barton to a 77-75 victory over previously unbeaten Winona (Minn.) State in March. He scored the winning basket on a layup as time expired.
