Could Shake Milton's injury status alter his NBA draft status?

Adam Grosbard, SMU beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions recently about the Mustangs and the American Athletic Conference.

Question: Do you think Shake Milton's injury might make him reconsider entering the draft? This season has gone sour and his stock can't be the highest right now methinks.

Grosbard: No, he's gone. The injury isn't long-term enough to hurt his draft stock, and teams aren't going to hold some dislocated fingers against him in the evaluation process. Shake always saw himself as a 1-2 year guy in college, so I think he's going to be eager to move on to the next stage of his career, especially with so many first-round grades from draft analysts.
