The NBA draft was pushed back almost four months due to the pandemic that has rocked this country.
But when it finally happens Oct. 16, Xavier Tillman hopes to hear his name called.
The Michigan State basketball forward announced Sunday he will indeed go pro after declaring for the draft in March.
“Based on the feedback I’ve received from NBA teams I am excited to announce my intention to hire an agent and to pursue one of my lifelong dreams," he said in a statement.
