Aaron Henry is ready for the NBA.
That’s the way one analyst sees things for the Michigan State wing, who left college after his junior season with the hopes of making it to the next level.
“He tested the waters a year ago and decided to go back. He's ready,” ESPN’s Jay Bilas said. “In that year I think he really did an excellent, excellent job to become a more mature, polished playmaker that is fully prepared for this step now, when last year (he) might not have been.”
That's exactly what Henry was hoping for when, after declaring the NBA Draft after his sophomore season, he decided to withdraw his name and return to Michigan State for his junior year as the leader of a team that was going through the post-Cassius Winston, Xavier Tillman era.
