I find it amazing Junior was even invited to a workout for a team. I'm guessing it's probably a result of Eugene's involvement.
I don't see any way Junior is drafted or makes it as a free agent. But he can have a very nice career overseas for the next five to 10 years.
I know he fell short of expectations based on his Top 50 RSCI rank coming into MU, but I always respected Junior's game. And he did have a few games, especially the last two season, when he took over the game and willed us to a W.
I kind of feel about Junior the same way I felt about Merrit: a lot of people did not appreciate what they brought to the table, but after they left/leave people will miss all the little things that they contributed to their teams' success.
I can actually see Junior getting signed for a summer league roster to fill in a PG space on the roster. A distributor in an open play league helps scouts to evaluate other free agents. Not too many hungry players don't like to share the ball in that league. I think that was half of DJO's issues last summer. No one passed him the rock.
There are some friends of Marquette Basketball in that front office. Not shocking that he got that invite. Wouldn't shock me if Vander works out for them, too.
