Message: [QUOTE="NHUConnfan, post: 5225875, member: 647"] Look at the history of the NBA Draft and there are literally hundreds of players who could shoot the **** out of the basketball and never broke an NBA roster because they couldn't defend at the most minimal level. I like to compare these players to Jimmer Fredette, who did play more than half the season for 4 seasons, but he only got to play on [I]the worst [/I]NBA teams...and he was pretty bad on those teams. Realistically, if Solo Ball doesn't level up his defensive skills, Jimmer is like the tippy-top of his ceiling in the NBA. And that's not worth a 1st rounder. Honestly, probably not even worth a 2nd rounder. There are undrafted players in the NBA with more meaningful minutes because they are more physically gifted, can defend, and learn to shoot good enough. [/QUOTE]
