The last week has been a blur for Jett Howard, who was drafted 11th overall by the Orlando Magic in the NBA Draft. Playing in the NBA has been a dream for him since he was a kid, and now that he’s months away from playing in his first professional game, he said it still doesn’t feel real.
“It still hasn’t sunk in, it comes at you fast,” Howard said on the Defend the Block podcast. “Now we’re just focused on work. It hasn’t really sunk in yet, it’s surreal.”
Howard wasn’t the only Wolverine drafted that night, as his teammate and good friend Kobe Bufkin was selected by the Atlanta Hawks four picks later.
