Auburn Hills — It’s back to the grind for Michigan’s Zak Irvin and Central Michigan’s Marcus Keene.
Not that the grind ever really ended, but they’re not looking to take on prominent roles like they did at their college programs; rather, they’re just trying to get a shot. With a week left before the NBA draft, they’re finishing their final workouts and hoping they can make enough of an impression to be selected in the second round.
Even if they don’t get their name called in the draft, they still could try to earn their way to a roster by making a summer league squad, hoping to get a better shot at an invitation to a training camp in the fall.
