Marquette men’s basketball junior forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper’s performance at the NBA Draft Combine at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois surprised a lot of people.
But not everyone.
At the NBA Combine, Prosper recorded a 35-inch standing vertical and 40.5-inch maximum vertical, both of which ranked top five among all participants. In the five-on-five scrimmage May 17, Prosper recorded 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Senior Writer for The Athletic Sam Vecenie has been an advocate of Prosper for a long time, so to him, the Montreal, Québec native’s showing was not a surprise.
Earlier this week, Vecenie took a few minutes to speak with the Marquette Wire about Prosper.
