Ever since Melo Trimble left Maryland two years ago, Anthony Cowan Jr. has seemingly been uncomfortable with comparisons with the team’s former basketball star.
Cowan now finds himself being compared with Trimble for another reason: taking his decision whether to leave College Park early to turn pro right down to the wire.
The team’s leading scorer the past two seasons, Cowan will work out Wednesday for the Sacramento Kings hours before the NBA’s midnight deadline for staying in the draft.
Cowan, who was not invited to either the NBA draft combine or the G League Inaugural Elite Camp, both held in Chicago earlier this month, is not expected to be taken in the June 20 draft.
