Michigan State Men’s Basketball has slowly become a factory for producing NBA talent and this year looks like it will be quite fruitful when it comes to Spartans heading into the draft. Some publications have Aaron Henry going in the first round, others have Xavier Tillman floating around that area. The ranking I find most compelling, however, is ESPN, who has point guard Cassius Winston ranked No. 30 in their NBA Draft rankings.
Winston is the No. 9 ranked point guard in this year’s draft, per rankings made primarily by Jonathan Givony and Mike Schmitz of ESPN. This is pretty gratifying to see since I am just one of many Spartan fans who have seen Winston play enough to be confident in his abilities at the next level, it’s good to see others in the media acknowledging that his skills could translate.
