Summary:
Melvyn Govindy was an early entry candidate that had seen his draft stock rise after various players from college basketball withdrew their names from the 2018 NBA Draft.
Right now, not much is known about Govindy’s game, but given the draft buzz on him, it’s possible that he an NBA team may take a flier on him as a late second round, draft and stash pick in 2019.
