Several Michigan and Michigan State players are hoping to turn their long-awaited dreams into reality in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
How many will hear their name called remains to be seen.
Among the group of draft-eligible prospects, the best odds of being picked belong to Spartans wing Max Christie and Wolverines forwards Caleb Houstan and Moussa Diabate, a trio of former five-star recruits who were starters but not stars during their freshman seasons.
Christie and Diabate both took part in last month’s NBA Combine, a pre-draft showcase that Houstan reportedly turned down an invitation to, raising speculation that he might have received a promise from a team.
