Message: [QUOTE="aceboon, post: 5032319, member: 406"] From an article posted today by Givony/ESPN on draft sleepers at every position, he put Spencer as the 6th man Sixth man Cam Spencer | UConn Huskies 6-3 | Age: 24.2 | Top 100 ranking: 42 Spencer is another prospect who is easy to talk yourself out of ranking very high because of his age, a bad body, limited length and poor athletic ability: Who is he going to guard? Can he get by anyone? Does he get his jumper off fast enough? Why did he struggle so much at the draft combine? But there's very little chance UConn wins a national championship without Spencer's dynamic, prolific shot-making, playmaking ability, competitiveness and feel for the game. He thinks he's the best player every time he steps on the court, is incredibly unselfish and never turns the ball over. He brings nonstop hustle on defense, which then compensates for his shortcomings on that end of the court because of his elite instincts and toughness. He is often the first one off the ground for rebounds and has jumped passing lanes prolifically his entire career. Spencer made 90% of his free throws and 44% of his 3-pointers during the past two seasons at Rutgers and UConn, many of which came running off screens or pulling up off the dribble from difficult vantage points. He was also a deadly shooter when his feet were set. Projection: Spencer is vying to be drafted anywhere in the second round, hunting for a situation where a real roster spot will be available, as opposed to a two-way contract. He earned quite a few NBA fans in UConn's national championship run and will certainly have an opportunity to show how his game translates to the pro setting. He was having outstanding pre-draft workouts before a minor ankle sprain caused him to miss some time, but he's already back on the road and will end up conducting close to a dozen workouts.
