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?

[Felis Silvestris]

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.

[Lynch]

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

[Cole]

i really hope someone takes the chance on pullen because he has the heart and dedication to do what it takes.

Player Evaluation for Jacob Pullen


Projection   Second round to undrafted

Positives   

    * Deep, deep range on his jump shot
    * Clutch shooter

Negatives   

    * Lacks size for his position
    * Just an average athlete
    * Doesn't see the floor well
    * Poor shot selection sometimes

[Lynch]

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.
