Message: [QUOTE="domestu, post: 1249593, member: 1089"] I've seen a lot of undersized athletes excel at the pro level but don't think Christmas has the overall game and skills to make it as a center in the NBA at his size. I also believe he is a longshot to make as a forward in the league. Players with his limitations usually don't get drafted in June. Ibaka's raw freakish athletic ability was recognized by NBA scouts shortly after he moved to Europe and he was drafted by Seattle in the first round when he was only 18. I love how Rak is playing this season but I doubt that any NBA teams see much similarity between Christmas and Serge Ibaka. He had off-the-wall potential from day one. Christmas' skill set is more borderline and he is likely destined for a pro career overseas. [/QUOTE]
