What do you guys think about him as a second round draft pick or undraft free agent? i think he is worth a shot.

We could trade into the second round so easily

I dont think I'd take him at #41, and cant say I'd be too eager to trade a future second rounder for him either. He is way too small to play the 2 on a regular basis, and he is basically a shooting specialist. He doesnt do a whole lot else. I wouldnt be opposed to signing him to a summer league team or what not, but I think there is better value at 41.

I wouldn't take him 41st. Will he even be drafted? I know his stock has dropped alot. His value was high at the start of the year but he was a sharpshooter in a very offensive and 3point happy team. I don't know if he'll be a NBA player. I don't see anyone picking him but i do think he'd be worth a look as a summer league invitee.

I agree that he isnt worth it at 41, but i think he is worth a chance.

Remember the guy is coming off of testicular cancer, which could account for his down year. I wouldn't be opposed to picking him at 41. Yes, he is very undersized, but he kind of reminds me of an undersized Nick Van Exel. He has a lot of heart and plays pretty good perimeter defense. We could do a lot worse in the second round IMO.

I don't see him having a whole lot of success at the next level. For one, he's going to have to play the 1, and I don't really think he has the handles or passing ability to play the position anything more than a few minutes. Two, he's not that great of an athlete in general and is pretty one dimensional. Can he even get his shot off with regularity against NBA defenders?

Shan Foster would be better.

I wouldn't draft him, but I wouldn't mind having him as an undrafted free agent. Then again, I wouldn't mind having any player with a half decent attitude and even questionable talent for nothing more than a minimum contract.

I doubt he gets drafted and I doubt he even gets a summer league invite.
A gutsy player but he is a one trick pony. He only has his jumpshot. In the NBA he will be blanketed by almost any defender and will only be a spot up shooter. I don't think the Pacers need to consider inviting him to summer league either.
