I still don't understand how Myck Kabongo could have slipped entirely out of the draft. I know his jumper's been shakey, but c'mon, the guy's an insane floor general. I also would have thought Seth Curry, Brandon Paul, and Trevor Mbakwe would have found a place in the league. If I had to list them, I think I'd personally look at it sort of like this - 1) Myck Kabongo 2) Seth Curry 3) Brandon Paul 4) Trevor Mbakwe 5) Phil Pressey 6) Khalif Wyatt 7) Adonis Thomas 8) C.J. Leslie 9) Christian Watford 10) Brandon Davies 11) Matthew Dellavedova Anyone else got a shortlist of guys they thought should have been drafted?
Richard Howell's a guy I knew wasn't going to get drafted but whom I think can be a productive player.
Best Undrafted Players (the Wesleys) Myck Kabongo went undrafted! But the guy I hope the Blazers were on the phone to the minute they saw the last pick is Jackie Carmichael. Any others?

List via DraftExpress, comments via various twitters: Jackie Carmichael Myck Kabongo James Southerland Trevor Mbakwe C.J. Leslie. Vander Blue [will play for the Griz in Summer League] Robert Covington [Apparently the Rockets have already signed him] Adonis Thomas Kenny Kadji Vitalis Chikoko Seth Curry D.J. Stephens [will play for Heat in Orlando and Mavs in Las Vegas] Augusto Cesar Lima Jack Cooley Zeke Marshall Anthony Marshall Christian Watford Amath M'Baye Travis Releford Elias Harris C.J. Aiken Khalif Wyatt Elijah Johnson Will Clyburn Rodney Williams [already signed by the Sixers] Jamelle Hagins Laurence Bowers Oleksandr Lypovyy Joan Sastre
CJ Leslie ---> New York Phil Pressey ---> Celtics Rodney Williams ---> 76ers Troy Daniels ---> Bobcats Hopefully we grab one or two of these guys for summer league.
What about DJ Stephens? I thought someone would take him in the 2nd round based on his sheer athletisism. Guys have risen into the lotto due to their athletic ability. 46 inch vertical, 7 foot wingspan 2.98 sprint.

It's looking more and more like the Heat had an awesome non-draft.
This guy intrigues me: [video=youtube;0hUhvqDjZ8Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hUhvqDjZ8Q[/video] He's a big PG. Downside, not a great defender. Really we need a defender along with a pure point. (Apparently St. Mary's gets all the young Aussie PGs.)
There were three CJ's in the draft? We missed a golden opportunity! Add CJ Miles and bring Caldwell Jones out of retirement just for the hell of it to field a full lineup.
Anyone ever heard of Ian Clark? He was the co-player of the year of the Ohio Valley Conference (shared with Isiah Canaan), defensive player of the year of the Ohio Valley Conference, shot 54% FGs, 46% on 3's. Never shot below 40% from 3 for his career. Hes playing on the Warriors Summer League team. Seems like no ones ever heard of him despite the accolades. Possible Gary Neal type.
Can't believe Kabongo and Leslie went undrafted. Seth Curry I can see. I don't think much of him, but I also didn't think Steph would translate well lol.
