There were a grand total of zero (count ‘em, zero) Golden Eagles selected in last night’s NBA Draft (though Andrew Rowsey did agree to play with the Toronto Raptors for NBA Summer League), making 2018 the second year in a row with no Marquette players being taken and the fifth time in the last six years. Sad. While this assuredly won’t be the case forever, it does beg the question “Who will be the next Marquette player taken in the NBA Draft?”
As we look at the current roster, there are quite a few guys with at least a bit of NBA potential, but it’s all a matter of development or timing of course.
