He is likely to go in the top 10 but as we get closer to draft day I think his stock might fall. He has a lot of issues to overcome for a project that is not 7? tall. He is listed at 6?8, 220 but that is misleading because on tape he appears to be skinner than Darius Miles as a rookie. I cannot imagine how badly he will get abused every single time he tries to take it to the rack in the League. It will only be a matter of time before someone hurts him. The fact that he relies so heavily on his considerable athletic ability has kept him from developing any consistent go-to moves off the dribble (also due, in part, to his limited ball-handling ability) and he will not be able to get away with that in the NBA.</div>
