NBA Draft...does Ejim have a shot?

[bawbie]

If he could tighten up his handles and up his 3 percentage to 40 or so, he might have a shot

For the record, he's currently at 38% and has been around 40% all year.

I'm going to start a Clayton Custer to the NBA thread just to **** you off.

I don't know. He looks like a white Chris Paul to me.

I think Ejim does. He's a similar player to Kenneth Faried. Remember, Faried was a little shorter when he entered the league.

[Tredici]

For as hard as this kid works, I think he may have a shot. He seems to be one of those guys that improves every year and doesn't wear his emotions on the court. Very level headed, smart player.

He has become one of my favorite Cyclones of this era. Silent, stat stuffer, team player, very consistent.

Yeah, but Faried is 2-3 inches taller and and even better athlete than Ejim so he can play the 4. There is no way Ejim can play the 4 without being taller. And I think he's mediocre on the perimeter as a collegiate 3. He still has happy feet, is not a great passer, and is not a great finisher off the dribble despite his size.

I think Babb is working on cashing a nice check if he can somehow maintain this level of offense. Not NBA, but he could do very well overseas.

He was another one I have wondered about. He has good size....great defense and we know he can shoot. I bet he gets a camp invite somewhere.

Ejim will make a lot of money, somewhere. On or off the court. If it's not in BB, it will be somewhere else. First team Academic All American. The guy has options, that's for sure.

I do not think he has a shot to get drafted. I think he'll maybe get a shot in free agency. I love the guy but it's hard to figure out where he'd fit on an NBA team. He is probably too small to be a 4 but not quick enough or a good enough shooter to be a 3. Dennis Rodman was only 6'6" though so playing the 4 while being shorter has been done very well. If I was a franchise I'd give him a look simply because he doesn't make any mental mistakes and is a great leader.

Yeah. maybe ME can get a Rodman haircut to remind all. Rod even played some center in the NBA. He flopped a lot.

Ejim has no chance at the NBA. 0%. He is too small to play the 4, and does not have next level ball handling skills or shooting ability. Babb is the only one on this team that could have a shot of squeaking onto a roster because of his defense. He is still a long shot. Clyburn will get an invite, but I would be shocked if he made a team.

[kucyclone]

He's got a shot. He's a nice player, an elite rebounder at his size, and seems like a really good kid. I think he will have to prove to NBA folks that he can hit the corner 3 consistently. But I certainly wouldn't count him out.

Might get a camp invite, but I highly doubt he gets drafted.
