Gilstrap has a scouting report on his pro potential on Draft Express. Basically says he has a chance to get drafted, very raw, has upside. If he goes pro, he looks like D-League or Europe for him.

At this stage in the season, there are few truly under the radar prospects who stand a shot at getting drafted, but Gilstrap is certainly worth a look from NBA personnel drafting in the second round.

The best high school player being selected #1 after his freshman year of college seems about right to me.Quote:

Draft Express is full of crap...when I pointed CB out to him before he blew up, he thought he played for Iowa...dude is not too knowledgeable.
That's one aspect of Gilstrap's game I think is really hindering his and ISU's improvement. His vision.
How many times have you seen Gilstrap dish it off to someone else after he blows by his defender? I can't think of one time where he passed it once he starts driving. There's a reason why so many guys are in position to flop when Gilstrap goes to the lane, because they know he's looking to score only.

The most significant concern, however, is his lack of fundamentals on the perimeter, which does not help him guard quicker wing players. If he improved his focus, from closing out shooters more effectively to making quicker rotations, he could overcome a lot of his deficiencies on this end. For the meantime, however, he is content gambling for steals and, much like the rest of the team, lacking consistent defensive focus. Improving this part of his game will likely play a huge role in how his career ends up.
