Title: Jacob Pullen's draft stock
Post by: Felis Silvestris on June 15, 2011, 11:08:42 AM

Analysis from Chad Ford, ESPN:

The two best shooters I saw in the Las Vegas gym the last two days were Ohio State's Jon Diebler and Kansas State's Jacob Pullen.

Diebler, as many college fans know, shot a scintillating 50 percent from 3 last season -- an amazing feat for a guy who took 227 of them.

Pullen didn't shoot as high of a percentage, but everyone knows the guy can be unconscious from deep when he gets on a roll.

Pullen claimed that, of the two, Diebler was the better shooter and the truth is he's probably right -- but their games are different. Diebler will make his living in the NBA spotting up and shooting, while Pullen has a bit more to his game. He can create his own shot off the dribble and even showed some point guard skills in the workouts I saw. Both guys are potential second-round picks based on their shooting acumen. The NBA always needs shooters, and both players bring a lot to the table.

This is great to hear for K-State. Who was the last 4 year senior to be drafted in a high round?

There is only 2 rounds in the NBA draft, But the last to be drafted period I believe was B-Easy and Walker.
