Michigan State Basketball: Evaluating NBA potential for Spartan prospects

East Lansing has been a breeding ground for NBA players. Which Michigan State basketball prospects have the potential to make the leap to the pros?

Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman have submitted their names in the 2020 NBA Draft, and both are expected to be drafted anywhere between the late first round and late second round.

Sophomore Aaron Henry was also a surprise entry, and his draft stock is unknown due to the unexpected nature of him entering his name. He is expected to take his name out eventually, but it seems that he is serious about going pro. However, this does solidify that he could have some NBA draft stock going forward.

Some other current Spartans also have pro potential, but aren’t expected to come out of school any time soon. There are at least 4-5 true NBA prospects heading into the draft but only one is for sure leaving and that’s Winston. Could the rest of the guys on this list join him this year and next year?

Let’s take a look at the NBA futures of Winston, Tillman, Henry and some of the other current Spartans.
