All three Spartans fit their NBA teams well
All three of MSU’s draft picks seem to be entering good situations with their new NBA teams. Each fills a role that their team was specifically looking to address.
Joe Rexrode of the Lansing State Journal breaks down how each player has a real chance to succeed in the pros.
They’re excited in Cleveland. They’re excited in Dallas. They seem to be moderately interested in Los Angeles, but hey, that’s progress when it comes to the Clippers.
Three former Michigan State players went in the top 34 picks of the NBA draft Wednesday night - Shannon Brown to the Cleveland Cavaliers (first round, No. 25 overall), Maurice Ager to the Dallas Mavericks (first, No. 28) and Paul Davis to the L.A. Clippers (second, No. 34) - and all three will enter attractive situations, or so it appears at first glance.
All three will be joining winning teams that advanced in the playoffs last season. None of the three will be forced into savior roles as rookies. But all should get a chance to play and get quality shots, because each will be playing with a superstar.
