Thought it might be a good idea to merge everything on this topic here, as many of the individual game threads talk about his pro potential. 

I'll add a lengthy post later, but in short, I'll say that I hope he makes it and does well, but also worry about how well he will transition and how much a franchise will be willing to invest in him. 

I don't know that he's ever going to be more than a slightly plus defender at the NBA level. Good leaping ability but not long enough, muscular enough, or blessed with the type of lateral quickness to be more than the type of defender he already is at the college level. Can't improve height, but he can probably put on a little muscle as he ages and can enhance his quickness marginally. To the latter of those attributes, I'll try to find a video where Brian Scalabrine talks about doing ladder drills while in the NBA.

One of the best lines I've heard from a scout is that "a great player who is ready for the next level makes it look easy". Offensively, he's efficient and has good instincts and a feel for the game, but I'm not seeing a highlight reel full of plays where he "makes it look easy". 

Will expound on it more in a later post, but I think that barring a catastrophic injury, he's probably a second round pick or getting a shot at a two way contract at minimum; however, I think that the timing of when he comes out and the type of organization that takes him will have a huge say in how long he sticks around and what type of career he has.
