CHICAGO, Ill. (WAND) -- We are just over a month away from the NBA draft. We know one Illinois player that will hear their name called night one, Keaton Wagler, but another Illini hoping to hear his name called is Champaign native Kylan Boswell.

Kylan was invited to the NBA Draft combine last week up in Chicago and had a decent showing infront of all the NBA teams.

He said he will have workouts with several teams now that the combine is over to show them what skills he has.

In his 2 years with Illinois Boswell tallied 209 assist and forced 108 turnovers.

He said he knows his roll on any NBA team will be to be a force defensively and creating scoring opportunities for others.
