It’s happening about five months behind schedule, but it appears the NBA is finally ready to hold its annual draft on Wednesday night, a night that could be the next step in the career for a pair of Michigan State players.
Forward Xavier Tillman, who left Michigan State a year early, and guard Cassius Winston, the all-time assists leader in Big Ten history, are each expecting to hear their name called. The only question at this point is whether that happens in the first or second round.
“I think both are borderline first-round picks,” ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said.
