NBA Talent on our current roster?

IMO, Clyburn only one with a legitimate shot. Lucious will get some looks from teams if he can continually produce high assist numbers. If he could get up to 6 assists consistently, I think he will definitely work out with a fair amount of teams.

Also, I don't think that Babb's style of play really translates to either the NBA, or especially European basketball. He isn't a good enough defender for NBA, but not enough of an offensive threat for Europe

And I suppose that McGee has a very small chance, but, IMO, not likely whatsoever

0 but I think there is numerous overseas players if they want. I actually believe Will and Babb can maybe make a D League. Babb has the size and defensive ability, if he can improve from the outside he could make a D League roster

None, but hopefully Matt Thomas, Monte Morris, Rashad Vaughn et al can change that.

I think we have a lot of good Euroleague professional players on our team. NBA...not so much.

To be honest, I won't be the least surprised if Clyburn gets drafted. In fact I'm expecting it. I think he will sneak in somewhere in the mid to late 2nd round. He is much better than what people on this board give him credit for.

And if I'm not mistaken, John Walters said preseason that Clyburn is 1st round potential. If he can get rolling a bit more and create shots for himself there is no reason he can't go in the 1st round. He just needs to show up big soon though with the season half over.

Niang could become a Draymond Green type guy.

**MJ271** · 01-21-2013, 05:29 PM

Of course, as others in this thread have said, it doesn't matter if we have NBA players on our roster, as long as we have guys who can play in college

I would argue that Lucious, Ejim, Babb have a 0% combined chance of playing in the NBA, and I think I'm being generous not putting Tyrus in this category (It's my rose colored glasses). I like our team and think we have alot of good players on it, but I respectfully think your original thesis is one of the most "kool-aid infused" posts I've read in a long time. Carry on.

hmmm.... I'll put my money on Niang.

**Luth4Cy** · 01-21-2013, 05:56 PM

Out of the seniors Clyburn has the best shot. Other than that I think Niang will definitely have a shot when his time comes several years from now. I also think Dorsey-Walker will become a stud scorer and have a chance too.

**CyCy** · 01-21-2013, 06:22 PM

Hard to believe that in 2007-2008 we had 3 future NBA players and finished 4 games under .500.

**gbaba** · 01-21-2013, 06:29 PM

On second thought, Ejim is the one most likely to play on an Olympic team

That is very true, but I'm not sure I want to see him play with Nigeria and lose to the U.S. or Spain by 50 points. But it would be fun to get to see him go up against the best of the best

Clyburn and Ejim both have NBA potential.

Melvin has no chance at the NBA level.

Maybe Will, Melvin (and Georges) just doesn't have the athleticism to make it in the NBA. Love the guy but he doesn't run or jump well. Standing still he can jump just fine but you can make a decent blooper reel off of the layups and dunks he's blown when having to make athletic plays on the move.
