NBA draft: DD

[Huskies4ever]

Anybody else read the Hartford Courant on SN and DD this morning? They list DD as going late second round/undrafted. I know that money was the important thing for DD and his family, but I would be very upset if he went undrafted.

Also, NBA Draft Insider projects SN going to the Houston Rockets at #42. They really know much about basketball.

No mocks have DD in the 1st round, he'll be lucky to make an NBA team next year, more likely overseas or D league. Not sure on the rationale to leave college early for that.

Daniels started an extra year in high school making him the age of a college senior this year. He won a chip and his stock really can only go down as his age trends higher. Good for him, if Otto Porter can go 3rd overall I don't see how Daniels can't get drafted...

Hope so.

Even though his stock probably can't go any higher, next year's draft isn't supposed to be nearly as deep which would have a positive affect on his draft position.

We need DD and Bazz to be drafted as high as possible in order to establish KO's reputation as a guy who can get players to the league. If we go a few years without a first-round pick, it's going to harm recruiting.

I always loved this kid.
If he sticks with it he will be a great pro.
Mental toughness is his key to success.

I read the Courant materials as more optimistic on DD than that. In Amore's main article he said second round, possibility of sneaking into the first. These were the projections from other sites listed in the Courant:

ESPN ranking: No. 47 overall, No. 11 SF, Projection: Second round pick/undrafted
NBA.com's Scott Howard-Cooper (6/19): No. 41 to the Denver Nuggets
DraftExpress.com's Jonathan Givony (6/18): No. 47 to the Philadelphia 76ers
*Sheridan Hoops' Joe Kotch (6/19): No. 26 to the Miami Heat
NBADraft.net (6/19): No. 39 to the Philadelphia 76ers
NBA Draft Insider (6/19): No. 38 to the Detroit Pistons
NetScouts' Carl Berman (5/23): No. 31 to the Milwaukee Bucks
CBSSports.com's Zach Harper (6/19): No. 38 to the Detroit Pistons
MyNBADraft.com's Consensus Mock (6/19): No. 34 to the Dallas Mavericks

He'll get drafted. General consensus seems to be early second round.

Getting drafted is the easy part.

Because third string , division four players usually don't make it to the Pro's sir. That was my set back .

There was nothing to be gained by coming back, but he needed to do better at the combine. The vertical in particular was uninspiring.

Goes back to that grass thing we were talking about earlier. You were too eager to get into "the life". Forgot to take care of the basics.
