Will he get drafted? If so, where at? I'm guessing he's a second rounder.... How will his game translate?

I think he could be a suprise high 2nd round pick.

He sure as heck is old enough. I believe that he could have a Stephane Lasme type impact in the D League. I see him as a lesser version of Sean Williams. Although he possesses the athletic ability and shot blocking, his all around game is no where near Williams's. Also, Lasme was a success in the D League and will probably receive a big contract either in the NBA or overseas. I believe that James may need to spend some years honing his post moves. While he's not ready, this is an opportune time for him to apply because he is already somewhat older. He's making the right move (I'd say), but I do not think he will earn a roster spot immediately. Actually, he probably should have applied when his stock was at its peak- namely when he played with Barea.
