Aaron Henry has been incredible for the Spartans down the stretch and is the primary reason why Michigan State is in the NCAA Tournament. That great play has been noticed by Sam Vecenie of The Athletic in his latest mock draft.
Vecenie released his latest mock draft ahead of the NCAA Tournament starting this week, and he has Henry going in the first round of this year’s upcoming NBA Draft. Vecenie currently projects Henry to be selected No. 28 overall to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Henry is averaging 15.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season. He has especially been impressive in the final month and half for the Spartans, scoring just under 18 points per game during the final eight games that saved Michigan State’s season.
Henry is a junior and of course could return to East Lansing for his senior season in 2021-22, however, there’s no chance of that happening should he potentially get drafted in the first round. A nice NCAA Tournament run could potentially secure that for Henry.
