UM’s Walton, Irvin trying to get NBA’s attention

With the NBA Draft more than a month away, four Wolverines are hoping to turn their professional dreams into reality.

Moritz Wagner, D.J. Wilson and Derrick Walton Jr. each earned NBA Combine invites and will be heading to Chicago for the six-day showcase that begins Tuesday. Zak Irvin was left off the invitee list that included more than 60 players.

While Wagner and Wilson haven’t hired an agent and have left the door open to return to Michigan for their junior seasons, Walton and Irvin have exhausted all four years of eligibility and are looking to continue their careers at the professional level.
