Scotty Hopson - Tennessee He's likely an NBA player from the neck down. But that's just not enough to get drafted. However, as a free agent, teams will be willing to bring him in and see how he handles himself as a man and as a pro. He'd have had 30 summer league offers if there was a summer league to play in, which there likely will be next July. Until then, behaving normally and playing well should be his plan, either in the NBDL or Europe. Greg Smith - Fresno State Most of the draft experts expected Smith to be a solid second-round draft candidate. He has a big body and is a fluid athlete, to be sure, and at just 20 years of age, has lots of time to keep developing. He'll need to learn how to play harder and faster, but both of those goals are attainable. With his huge hands and big frame (6-foo-10, 253 pounds), he should focus on becoming a monster rebounder. What team does not need one of those guys? Justin Hurtt - Tulsa Full disclosure, I spent 7 weeks with Hurtt this spring, trying to help him do well enough in workouts to increase his draft chances. Obviously, I failed. But he didn't. He's got a lot in common with Courtney Lee, in that he's a 6-foot-5 wing with excellent athleticism and a scorer's feel, while being an outstanding shooter. He's not the passer or defender Lee is, but he might be better overall as a scorer and should be able to play a role similar to Shannon Brown. Demetri McCamey - Illinois If there's one thing NBA teams always covet from their vet camp point guard invitees, it's the ability to shoot the ball. And McCamey projects to be a very solid perimeter shooter as a pro. His work ethic is in question, as is his overall ambition to be great. After not getting drafted, teams will find out quickly just how hungry he is to make the league. If the next time scouts see him he's quicker, faster and leaner, they'll know he's on the right track. Malcolm Thomas - San Diego State Like a poor man's Jeremy Evans (second-rounder for Utah last year), Thomas impacts the game with above-the-rim plays thanks to long arms, quick jumping and good timing. His lack of skills probably kept him from getting drafted, but now he has time to work on his shot. Still, once he gets in a gym for a camp, or plays as a pro next year somewhere, NBA scouts will see how his specialized set of talents can fill a particular need for their team. Source ESPN
