Minnesota basketball history was made during the 2020 NBA Draft with four players from the talent-rich state hearing their names called, doubling the previous record.
One year later, Minnesota has another group of intriguing draft prospects waiting their turn.
The headliner is projected top-five pick Jalen Suggs, the athletic point guard gifted enough to lead Gonzaga as a freshman to the NCAA title game last season.
The next tier, Jericho Sims, McKinley Wright and Matthew Hurt, hope strong workouts and scrimmages help them join Suggs on draft night July 29.
"We're kind of looked at as a spot that isn't really known for producing top basketball players," Suggs said about the Minnesota hoops scene.
