I'm not so sure that Sheffer didn't have the NBA skill set. Not every NBA player jumps through the roof and dribbles the ball while running a 4.4 40. He was tall, could shoot well enough, and handle and pass very well . Wasn't he stuck in an odd situation with the team that drafted him - the Clippers, right? He was somehow not in a position to try out with any other team even if the Clippers had no intent to make him a roster player, or some sort of involuntary servitude.
Anyway, not the JC era, but the UConn player who didn't make it (but was drafted) and surprised me by not making it was Tony Hanson. By today's standards he was short at 6'5" for his natural SF position, but other guys in the NBA were his size at that position. Athletic, great jumper, good to very good shooter, could get to the hole.
