Michigan Basketball: Why fans should want Cassius Winston to go pro

With the crowning of Virginia as national champion, college hoops fans turn to a favorite post-season pastime, debating which players with remaining eligibility will return and which will go pro. For Michigan Basketball fans, apart from interest about their own players, (particularly Charles Matthews who will almost certainly go, and Jordan Poole and Ignas Brazdeikis, who probably will test the waters but are expected to return), no opposing player commands as much concerned speculation as Wolverine tormentor Cassius Winston of the Michigan State Spartans.

To the casual observer, it should be an easy choice for Cash, given his stellar accomplishments: Associated Press and Sporting News first-team All- American, NCAA Consensus second-team All-American, Big 10 Player of the Year and league tournament MVP, East Regional MVP, and the player that BTN’s Rick Pizzo said was the reason that Michigan State made it to the Final Four.
