For the fourth time in eight years, Michigan State basketball will likely have two players selected in the NBA draft. Senior guard Cassius Winston and junior big man Xavier Tillman are widely expected to walk across both the proverbial-and-virtual stage on Nov. 18, the scheduled date for this year’s draft.
What’s less certain is where they will actually end up. Winston's and Tillman’s ranges appear to be from the bottom of the first round until toward the end of the second round. If they were to both go in the first round, they would become the sixth pair of Spartan first-round draft picks in school history.
