Junior guard Marcus Keene smiles at the crowd during the Chippewas game on Feb. 3rd in McGuirk Arena.
During Marcus Keene's record breaking 2016-17 season with the Central Michigan basketball team, he consistently told reporters his favorite professional basketball player was Isaiah Thomas of the Boston Celtics because he "paved the way" for guards his size.
After having pre-draft workouts with the Celtics, Washington Wizards, Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons, and now heading to workout with the Houston Rockets, Keene might get a chance to line up with or against his favorite player.
Keene's story starts at Youngstown State, where he led the team in scoring during his sophomore season.
