Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 2709768, member: 3723"] [SIZE=4][B]Will (or should) return to school:[/B] [B][/B] [B]Christian Vital | 6-2, G | Connecticut | 21 years old[/B][/SIZE] Agent: No Projected draft slot: undrafted Key stats: 14.9 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 1.7 APG, 38.3/31.8/84.6 Comment: There’s not a lot to talk about with Vital as an NBA prospect at this stage, and I’m a bit unclear on what his overall professional marketplace would look like. He put up good counting numbers this year at Connecticut by averaging 15 points a game, but he did so on a bad team. He’s a better shooter than what his 32 percent mark from 3 says, as he’s more than willing to pull from distance regularly and his percentage from the foul line says a lot. But at the end of the day, he’s a 6-2 scoring guard who doesn’t really distribute for his teammates, takes on heavy usage and isn’t comfortable or efficient in his scoring or decision-making once he gets into the paint. That would be the best place to start for him, and it would be plausible for him to get to the point where he is a valuable pro prospect somewhere by the end of next season. Dan Hurley is the new coach at Connecticut, and his offense is an attack-oriented, guard-heavy style that would play into his hands. He should go back and establish himself there.
