Dreams became a reality for 60 amateur basketball players on Thursday night, hearing their names called in Brooklyn during the 2019 NBA Draft. Six of those players are former B1G stars.
The B1G produced two first-round draft picks and four second-round selections during the NBA Draft on Thursday night. Five schools were represented during the event, and Michigan was the only team to produce multiple draft picks this year.
