Kansas guard Melvin Council Jr. is making his case for an NBA future, with a pre-draft workout scheduled for the Brooklyn Nets on June 8. The 24-year-old guard, who has not been projected in any mock drafts, is looking to secure an undrafted free-agent contract.
Council Jr. described his game as "pass-first," emphasizing his ability to involve teammates and play "pest on defense." During his senior season with Kansas, he posted averages of 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.1 assists. His performance at the Portsmouth Invitational earned him an invitation to the G League Combine.
Standing at 6-foot-3.75 with a 6-foot-9.5 wingspan, Council Jr. possesses notable length for his position, suggesting "legitimate two-way upside." While his outside shot remains a work in progress, his overall development could pave a path to an NBA roster.
