i bet he is a 4 year guy (meaning he comes back next year). With that said, I am shocked if he gets drafted. Duhon was a second rounder, and he was a better college player, played better defense and was just as good a shooter. I think he could make a training camp though, but overseas/NBADL is where I think he toils.

The kind who better be getting good grades at Duke b/c he isn't likely to have a post duke bball career.

Paulus was really hyped up coming out of highschool and during his freshman year. Alot of scouts though he was going to be really good but he's never really lived up to that hype. I think he has a shot at the NBA. He shots the ball well and can run an offense someone will give a shot, i'd compare his situation right now to Shavlik Randoplh's.

He's incredibly slow even for a college point guard. His defense is bad. Any 2nd-tier NBA point guard would abuse him in every way at every opportunity. A real PG like Harris or (my god) BDavis would have a field day.

His shooting is "good" for a college player but nowhere near good enough to make up for his physical deficits. Plus, he's not that good of a playmaker. Plus he's not that tall.

If anyone drafts him even in the 2nd round I am going to laugh first, and shake my head second.

He has a better chance at playing in the NFL.

Pretty much spot on. Not only is he not a good athlete, but he's not really even a good passing pg either, which might be the stereotype as a slow, white pg playing for Duke. He's probably going to start next year too b/c of Coach K's loyalty, but Duke's much better off with Nolan Smith starting at the point.

B Diddy has a field day with almost any point guard he goes up against, esp when he is mentally in the game.

I know he's not the greatest athlete but didnt he have a scholarship to play QB for Notre Dame?

Yeah and I think football was his better sport but he wanted to play basketball. But being a QB doesn't make you a good basketball athlete. In fact, I'm sure most NFL QB's have no chance, in terms of speed, quickness, strength, and jumping, of staying with NBA guards.

He was #1 ranked QB in the nation. He should have played football. Now, he has no chance to be a pro in either sport.

He effectively destroyed any chance of an NBA career by playing the point at Duke.

I bet he could get invited to some NFL camps. There is a reason he was the #1 QB in the country.

What QB has been invited to an NFL camp with no experience above high school?

The question is, what coach is visionary enough to believe

No he wasn't. Mark Sanchez was. Perriloux was also well ahead of him. He was at the back end of the Top 10, but I don't think he has the body that could've developed into a NFL QB anyways.

I'm sure back in the day, if Donovan McNabb had focused on college basketball, he could have been a good defender at Syracuse.

He still has four years of college football eligibility, would he not?
