Mays plays well in Pre-Draft Combine

Mays came into the program wanting to play in the NCAA Tournament and compete for a national title. Even though he didn’t get that chance, he’s opened doors for himself to become a professional.

Goodwin is physically not ready for the pro game, and he’s more than likely going to be in the D-League.
