The NBA Draft is officially here and before the end of Thursday night, Maryland basketball could have two draft picks off to basketball’s highest level.
Kevin Huerter, who will likely be the first Terp selected in the first round in half a decade, declined a green room invitation and will instead watch from home. Meanwhile, Justin Jackson will be waiting much longer. Once projected to be a lottery pick, the Canadian’s a fringe second rounder now that the draft has arrived.
This year, commissioner Adam Silver will announce the picks from Barclays Arena in Brooklyn.
