I was looking at NBAdraft.net and this was the guy they had pegged as one of our second round picks.

I think he's an interesting prospect. he's a 6'7 legit PG.
Probably pan out to be a disappointment, but from his scouting report (which was made in 2006) he seems to show some promise.

Thats his draft express profile which tends to agree with nbadraft.net.

Maybe not what we're looking for with our picks but might be an interesting prospect.

Sounds like a Sasha Pavlovic type player.

I don't think we will ever see a 6'7 point guard in the NBA. If he has any amount of quickness he would be a lotto pick just based on his size.

He is more of a point guard forward. Very good player though, can do it all on the court and is a natural leader...

He would be another steal from Spurs Office...

He has a high BB-QI and can play in 3 positions. Average defender, average shooter, good court vision, not a turnover prone.
