The NBA Draft is fast approaching, as former UConn men’s basketball stars Jordan Hawkins, Andre Jackson and Adama Sanogo will hope to each hear their name called Thursday night to kick off their professional careers. Out of the aforementioned trio, Hawkins is the only Husky seemingly locked in as a potential first-round pick, with the ability to potentially sneak into the back half of the lottery and earn a spot on the wall at the Werth Family Champions Center.
Jackson and Sanogo were widely projected as mid-to-late second-round picks or undrafted free agents respectively up until strong NBA Combine performances vaulted them back into the draft conversation.
