Experts believed that former Michigan State basketball player Draymond Green will go in the first round of the NBA Draft Thursday night, but he was chosen as 35th overall in the second round by the Golden State Warriors.

With Green to support him were his former MSU coach Tom Izzo, Mateen Cleaves, Jerel Worthy, and other friends and family.

The 6'7" forward's NBA dreams became a reality after about a three hour wait.

 


 

Experts believe that former Michigan State basketball player Draymond Green will go in the first round of the NBA Draft Thursday night.

The 6'8" small forward flew around the country visiting 12 teams, and was invited back to Indiana for a second workout with the Pacers.

The Pacers have a No. 26 pick in this year's draft, and experts anticipate that Green will be their pick in the first round.

With the Spartans, Green showed leadership on and off the court, selflessness when it came to passing and assists, and was a strong shooter and rebounder for the team.

We'll have the details later of where Draymond Green ends up in the NBA Draft on FOX47News.com and FOX 47 News at Ten!
