Despite phenomenal performances in the G League Elite Camp and the NBA Combine, Ohio State’s Duane Washington was not drafted during Thursday night’s NBA Draft. After once sitting outside of most media outlets’ top-100 players, Washington’s performance at the pre-draft activities boosted his draft stock to a point where he was included in a few mock drafts by major media outlets.

Alas, Ohio State’s resident Wolverine killer was not selected, but his NBA journey is still just beginning.
