Marcus Zegarowski: ‘I think I’m the best shooter in the draft’

Rookie Wire recently caught up with Zegarowski to discuss his career at Creighton, the pre-draft process and much more.

Fresh off of a stellar season at Creighton, Marcus Zegarowski is busy showing NBA teams during the pre-draft process that he is capable of being one of the top point guards in the class this year.

Zegarowski was named an honorable mention All-American by the Associated Press after averaging 15.5 points, 4.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game as a junior. He was just the sixth player in program history to be recognized multiple times as an All-American by the AP.

The 6-foot-2 guard shot 42.1% from 3-point range on 6.6 attempts per game, leading the Big East in total 3-pointers (80) and triples per game (2.76). He left Creighton after three years as a career 42.3% shooter from beyond the arc.

Behind the play of Zegarowski, Creighton finished second in the Big East during the regular season. They earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1974 before falling to Gonzaga.

Now, Zegarowski is preparing for a new challenge: the NBA draft.

He announced in April that he would sign with an agent and declare for the draft, forgoing his remaining collegiate eligibility. He has been training in Miami, often going through three workouts a day to get ready for the next level.
