Branden Dawson's MSU career ended with another Final Four appearance. Now, he hopes to make the roster of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers.

The NBA draft was held last week. Former Spartans Branden Dawson and Travis Trice now hope to make pro teams.

Basketball fans were all over ESPN in recent days, as NBA teams announced their draft picks. Current State talks with Al Martin, host of WKAR'S Current Sports, about the future prospects for MSU stars Branden Dawson and Travis Trice, along with the role of former Spartan Draymond Green in the NBA championship victory of the Golden State Warriors.

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
