To my eyes he could be on an NBA roster right now. As for getting drafted, let's look at his weaknesses: 1. Strength - Yeah, he's pretty weak. If you're an NBA GM, I think you trust your training staff to get this issue figured out. 2. Motor - That was the knock coming out of highschool at least. Is anyone seeing any motor issues? I'm not. He plays hard. Not always smart, but he doesn't look to me like a guy that loafs around, just like a guy that's still a little confused. If I'm a GM, I'm not worried here. 3. BB IQ - He doesn't strike me as any more lost than any other young player. If I'm a GM, I think I trust my coaches here to teach him. 4. Defense - He's not a great defender, but that's likely due to inexperience, not any athletic shortcoming. I'm not sure I'm going to feel that many draftees come in to the NBA ready to be a shut down defensive player. If I'm a GM, this is another thing I'll trust my staff to coach him up. 5. Offense - Seems like a lot of his offensive struggles stem from the lack of strength. He has pretty good form, is pretty crafty around the basket, and plays pretty well on the interior. If I'm an NBA GM, what more do I really need to see? Sports fans, there are a bunch of NBA teams that will draft in the lottery that will be THRILLED to grab him. He gone.
