Message: [QUOTE="jekelish, post: 138230, member: 82"] Melo: lock to be drafted whenever he comes out. He's one of two guys with the most "upside" on the team. Waiters: will likely play in the NBA. I see him being drafted around pick 20-30 in the first round if he keeps improving and stays in shape. MCW: I absolutely believe he will be a first round pick, possibly lottery. He's Shaun Livingston 2.0, and without the injuries. Though, for the poster who said he might be the best passer in SU history, you're clearly too young to have ever seen Sherm or even Lazarus (who is my favorite SU player ever because of how much I loved his uncanny court vision). Kris: MAYBE a first rounder, more likely a guy will get licked in the 35-45 range. I just don't think he's got a good enough all around skill set to make it. He's a decent, not great shooter. He's got a very average handle, and makes some bad decisions, and he tends to disappear. I've said it before and I'll say it again - if Todd Burgan never got a look (and his game was superior to Kris in virtually every aspect), I don't see how Kris will make it unless Burgan's attitude somehow put teams off. Christmas - first, he's not as tall as listed. However, he's such a freak athlete that if his attitude and skills ever catch up to his athleticism he will be a lottery pick, top 20 pick at worst. IF being the key word. CJ: I really hope he makes it or at least gets a long look. Paul Harris and Josh Pace both got looks, and not only is he 4 or 5 inches taller than either of them, I think by the time he's done he'll just be a flat out better player. Triche: could get a look depending on how next season goes. The NBA values 6-4 guards who are built like tanks, but with him I think mentally he just might never be tough or assertive enough. No one else on the current roster will garner consideration, though it remains to be seen with Cooney. He's stronger and almost as tall as Andy, he's more athletic, and I think he'll wind up being more productive. [/QUOTE]
