I mean I hope you’re right honestly but it’s just not what I predict happening.
    For either to be drafted next year, he would have to be a consistent deadly 3 point shooter, slasher and show amazing athleticism.
    Length combined with no problems dribbling would be factors.

    I doubt either will be drafted next year. Makes little sense unless their game dramatically changes.

    Paul has all the attributes listed above besides the dribbling part which I'm sure that is what he will be working on this summer along with all of the other facets of his gane.

    Regardless, leaving before completing all four years doesn't mean being drafted. I think we all learned that as recently as with kaiser.

    if naji plays the entire year like he did down the stretch, he'll get drafted. he has length and can defend 1-4 very well, is an elite rebounder at his size, and has very good quickness for a player his height. if he shoots like he did at the end of the year, he's a shoe-in. paul just needs consistency. he has good athleticism, is extremely long, defends well and even defends the post well, and scores from every level. if he produces consistently teams will want him

    the naji before the ankle injury that shut down alpha diallo, ty-shon alexander, myles powell, shamorie ponds, and phil booth and scored 14, 23, 28, 31, and 17 is going to get drafted. he was arguably the best player in the big east the second half of the season.

    Agreed. If Naji gets just a little better defensively he can be an elite nba defender which is highly valued. Given he’s not going to be an amazing shooter I can see him being a rotation guy at the nba level who is a high level defender and can get to the basket. Honestly I think his biggest thing next year will be putting better body language and leadership ability on tape as well as showing he can shoot just a little better.

    He has some god awful tape from the first half of this past season in terms of body language. That flies if you’re draymond green but if you’re the 9th guy in the rotation ain’t gonna work.

    Yeah weird indeed.....what I was hearing was that it was def a no way and that despite what he said he would not be able to graduate this year.
