Michigan had three players invited to the green room: Yaxel Lendeborg, Aday Mara, and Morez Johnson Jr. All three of those players will be selected in Round 1, with the chance that all three are lottery picks. <\/p>\n

The Wolverines could also see both Roddy Gayle Jr.<\/a> and Nimari Burnett either go late in the second round, or sign as undrafted free agents. Gayle Jr. worked out with some NBA teams, and has a better shot of hearing his name called, but signing after the draft is the most likely scenario for both players. <\/p>\n

Will Tschetter is off playing basketball overseas, and while he could hear his named mentioned as a UDFA, he wouldn’t be selected in the NBA Draft. <\/p>\n
