MSU basketball guard considered potential lottery pick in 2027 NBA Draft
One NBA Draft analyst believes Michigan State has a future lottery pick on its roster for next season. There has been a ton of focus on the upcoming NBA Draft and what Spartans star point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. is going to do -- stay in the draft or return.
But there's another Michigan State guard that was listed as a potential lottery pick by one scout / analyst: incoming freshman Jasiah Jervis . KJ of KJScouting posted their early 2027 NBA Draft Top 30 Big Board, with Jervis landing in the top 10 of his list. KJ has Jervis as the No.
9 player on the big board, and was the highest of any other Spartans that could have been included on the list. Jervis comes to Michigan State with a lot of hype as a fringe five-star prospect. He is ranked as the No.
6 shooting guard and No. 31 overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2027 class. He is the top prospect in a Michigan State class that ranks top five nationally.
Anytime you're considered a fringe five-star or high-end four-star prospect, there's a chance you'll be a one-and-done prospect. So this high praise for Jervis from KJ shouldn't come as a surprise. But it's still notable to see considering Michigan State is in position to return an already very talented team and will be possibly adding a NBA lottery pick as well in Jervis.
