Auburn basketball fans need any distractions from the Justin Powell situation right now. With news of the Kentucky native entering the transfer portal with UK hot on his trail, the thought of the Tigers’ best player pre-Sharife Cooper in 2020-21 donning big blue is not a fun one.
Luckily, the aforementioned Cooper will be in the news plenty due to his possible NBA Draft selection during the association’s 2021 event. Though a specific date, time, and location haven’t been announced, Cooper is one of the expected names when Adam Silver (hopefully) takes the stage (as opposed to getting on a zoom) later on this year.
