Title: 2011 NBA Draft Prospects
Post by: Felis Silvestris on March 23, 2011, 10:44:43 AM

Wildcats in ESPN's 2011 NBA Draft Prospects:

#14 Shooting Guard (90 overall) Jacob Pullen- Second round to undrafted
#32 Shooting Forward (132 overall) Jamar Samuels- Second round to undrafted
#46 Shooting Forward (202 overall) Curtis Kelly- Second round to undrafted
#30 Power Forward (113 overall) Wally Judge- Second round to undrafted


I'm surprised Jake is listed as a shooting guard instead of point guard.  Also think Kelly should be projected higher than Jamar as a shooting forward.  Thoughts?

Is it a size issue for Pullen to be listed as Second Round to Undrafted?

Definitely, that's why I was surprised he was listed as a shooting guard.  It's his natural position but how many 6'0" SG do you know that play in the NBA?  I think he has a chance to be a serviceable backup PG.  More than likely, he won't be drafted but I hope someone takes a chance on him through free agency.

Ya hope he doesn't have the go the long Cartier Martin route to get into the NBA.

Dang I was wanting to disagree with whatever negatives they were going to say about him, but it sounds like they are spot on. Luckily his positives generaly out weigh those negatives.

Wow, I have to agree with Lynch.  Those are spot on, but in the NBA, I think those negatives do carry more weight.  In college hoops, those positives obviously make an all-american.
