I think he could get a few invites to camp. If that happens, who knows. There are many in the league that would surpirse.
 
its going to depend on how he does in the ncaa tournament if we go and win game or more and he plays like he usually does u never know what could happen. if a team is looking for someone to play defense pump crowd up etc hes your guy. i think it could happen to be honest team with multiple picks could draft him late hes one those players with so much potential its worth it

I think he can do everything Kenneth Faried does, minus some of the rebounding. He's at least good enough to get some looks at training camp... if he doesn't get drafted or make a roster, he will have the opportunity to play in the D League.
 
He may get a peek but that would be it. Horrible ball handler but solid shot blocker. Headed to Turkey probably.
 
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if he were a mid to late second rounder. I think there will be some interest in his energy and blocking ability therefor I think he will get some attention at pre-draft camps. If he has a good showing at those then obviously that will help. I think ultimately there are only a few teams that value defense enough over offense or at least besides offense to give him a look and those teams might have other needs/less picks/etc. which will hinder his ability to get drafted. I agree that ultimately I see him overseas somewhere, but I'll be rooting for him to make the league.
 
As basketball has become much more of a global game it's very difficult just to make an NBA roster, nevertheless actually get regular playing time or become a star. At the start of this season there was a record 92 foreign players from 39 countries that made rosters, which accounted for more than 20% of the league! That number is only likely to rise, so in order to make an NBA roster you need to be one of top 300 or so players in the country. That's one hell of a mountain to climb.

I wish SK and JJ the best, but there is no way I'm holding it against them if they never make it based on those odds.

I'm guessing you all are right. I believe SK will coach one day.

Would love to see SK do what JaQuon's doing, but I think he can for sure play overseas. Same with JJ. Don't think either will get drafted, but will get tryouts. If SK can get his %'s up, then potentially late 2nd round, but that's it.

Jaquon is going back to get his degree... I believe SK is graduating or already graduated.
