Illinois' Terrence Shannon Jr. understands the seriousness of the rape charge he faces but is focusing on basketball for now.
The once-projected first-round pick is being scrutinized as a potential NBA prospect, which could depend on the outcome of his June 10 trial for felony rape and felony aggravated sexual assault charges. Last year, a woman accused Shannon of sexually penetrating her with his fingers at a bar in Lawrence, Kansas.
On Tuesday, Shannon said he's invested in the NBA draft process and the work attached to it. At the combine, Shannon added that he's the best"two-way" player in the draft. At the time, Shannon was a projected first-round pick in next month's NBA draft. His lawyers said his June rape trial will conclude before the draft on June 26-27.
