When it comes to Ignas Brazdeikis and destinations in the NBA, there are few places that fit the former Michigan basketball star better than New York.
After all, Iggy loved the bright lights while in Ann Arbor and it doesn’t get much brighter than Broadway and the Big Apple, which is where Iggy will play next season after the Knicks orchestrated a deal that landed the Big Ten Freshman of the Year with the 47th overall pick.
Brazdeikis was the second Michigan basketball player picked Thursday night. Jordan Poole, who entered the draft after his sophomore season, went to Golden State with the 28th pick, giving the Wolverines their eighth first-round pick since 2011.
