Nebraska Cornhuskers guard Bryce McGowens has made it to the NBA. McGowens was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves for the Charlotte Hornets in the second round of 2022 NBA Draft at No. 40 overall.
McGowens has officially become the first Husker in program history to go onto the NBA after just one season in Lincoln following his prep career and the third Husker to be drafted in the last four NBA drafts. However, at No. 40 overall he fell short of becoming the first Husker taken in the first-round of the NBA Draft since Tyronn Lue in 1998 and just the fourth all-time.
