Gabe Brown fulfilled a promise to his late father of playing basketball for Michigan State.
The Ypsilanti native added another lifelong goal to his checklist: signing with an NBA team, going to the Oklahoma City Thunder on a partial guaranteed deal after Thursday night’s NBA draft, according to basketball writer Adam Zagoria.
Brown will play for the Thunder's Summer League team next month in Las Vegas.
“Everybody knows I'm a workhorse, I bleed the game of basketball. I love the game of basketball, I'm in love with the game of basketball,” Brown told the Free Press in May.
