Poll: Will Josh Carlton Be An NBA Player?

[UCDaveD]

With another 2 seasons of continued improvement, I think it's possible.

 

[nomar]

I don't really see it. He's skilled but not explosive and I think he'll struggle against athletic guys his size, which he almost never faces.

But I'd love to be wrong. He's been great for us and I expect an excellent season from him.

 

[Matrim55]

My guess is he gets a cup of coffee at some point but makes bank in Europe.

 

[Palatine]

He's not one yet.

I thought his hands have really improved. Good to his game and skils continue to get better.

 

[djct1999]

No. but he will be a good four year player at UConn.

 

[navery12]

No. Even the elite, top 5 big man recruits barely have a spot in the NBA

 

[husky429]

Unlikely. You need to be a high level athlete, shot blocker, be gigantic, or shoot 3s to make the NBA usually. The exception would be a guy like baynes.. but Carlton is not half the defender he is, and would probably only be listed at 6'8 with the new nba rules

I put maybe just because I'd love to see it happen.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Yes. One good half against SHU is enough to convince me that it’s a certainty.

 

[NH Husky]

Rod Sellers 2.0

 

[Rocktheworld]

What better day than to start this poll

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Dislike the topic and poll.

 

[Lefty2one]

No. He's basically Gavin Edwards but a little bigger.

 

[Rocktheworld]

No. He's basically Gavin Edwards but a little bigger.

God I would be thrilled if Josh could develop a shot from elbow/FT line

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I went out on a limb and said maybe.

 

[TheChamps990411]

No but that's ok. Hes going to have a solid career here and graduate with a degree. He'll go on to make a Lot of money overseas and he'll be fine. Ive like him from the first time I saw him and he has not disappointed.

 

[SubInATub]

Not in today's NBA.

Probably gets a NBA summer league invite, but nothing further

 

[UCfor3]

I will be his biggest advocate, but.the way the league has gone, he is exactly the type of player that has trouble finding a place in todays NBA game. I hope I am wrong. Either way, he will have a terrific career overseas and make a great living if that is what he wants.

 

[boog204]

He’s a poor mans Rod Sellers. That’s not an insult. Rod was an excellent four year big man. But even Sellers had a bit more fluidity and explosion than Josh. Carlton has some skills, but he’s super mechanical in everything he does. That’s not NBA quality.

 

[Kitaman]

Certainly if all the SHU players are on Pro teams in the next year or two.

 

[UCDaveD]

I regret this thread so much.

 

[nadavtheman]

not a chance. he's a 6'10" at best center who can't shoot.

 

[Huskybass]

I regret this thread so much.

Why? People have made good points. I am a big Josh Carlton fan. I was thrilled with his production as a Soph. But I have to agree that Josh is probably an overseas pro. There is no shame in that.

 

[Stainmaster]

I regret this thread so much.

Never understood this insane idea from the beginning
