Missouri basketball fans didn’t have anything to cheer about at the NBA Draft, with not a single Tiger name being called. But now, Jeremiah Tilmon and Dru Smith have given them a reason to smile.
Tilmon was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Orlando Magic, joining the team alongside 2021 March Madness standout Jalen Suggs and Michigan star Franz Wagner.
Tilmon is the third Missouri basketball alum to ever play for the Magic.
