Guys that didn’t get drafted

[FearThePups]

I’m wondering why every team passed on Eric Dixon and RJ Luis?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Dixon is too small for center, too slow for a forward and basically takes about half the game off defensively. He could lose weight and commit to defense and become a nice stretch 4.

It's a counter to those that say Liam (or Bouknight, or whomever else) should've come back.

RJ Luis, Eric Dixon, Caleb Love, Mark Sears and others were deemed by NBA teams to be great college players that weren't worth picking. They'll get Exhibit 10 (summer league), GLeague and/or two-contracts and hope to make NBA rosters at some point.

RJ Luis could have made millions in the transfer portal.

Long list of very productive college players who didn't get drafted. Just goes to show again that production in college and being an NBA player don't always match up.

It's also a reflection of a strong "potential for growth" bias. Dixon @ 24 years old is likely thought to have hit his ceiling. Flagg's age at 18 made him an even more appealing selection.

That's probably the case. And I think it's unfair.
I was signed to Sony records as a 24 year old musician, and the label was hesitant because they said I was a bit on the old side! Ha.
That being said, I think Eric Dixon would easily be able to start on an nba team.

Hunter Dickinson....five years in college. Just signed a 2 way deal with New Orleans.

He could not have handled this worse.

If I’m an NBA team, I run to sign Eric Dixon.

If he would be willing to take his conditioning seriously he could be a nice piece for an NBA team.

Kadary Richmond.

I think Richmond was already offered either a two way or an Exhibit 10 contract. I don't remember with whom.

Or some NBA GM's blew it.

I like Dixon, Love and Goldin as NBA role players. Maybe Sears too.
