2012 D-League Draft Results aka the "I remember him draft"
Watch out for Tim Olbrecht. If he developed even a little bit from when he first came on the scene. I remember there were Dirk comparisons early on if memory serves me correctly. If he can be even a knockdown spot up/ pick and pop guy he could end up with a call up eventually. Near 7footers who can knockdown a jumper seem to always find a place on teams, see Steve Novak.
I watched him a couple of times in the last years and I think he can make it to the NBA. He is quit athletic, blocks some shots and has a nice jumpshot (he can make some threes).
He just has some mental problems, as he worked with some mental coaches to improve his consistency.
Boo ya! I thought he was still in Canada, but that mighty might provided some good times at U of O. About 5-6 (maybe less), he could stroke triples (also shoot quite a few them as well)! Tajuan and Aaron Brooks made a really exciting back court in 2007-08, when the Ducks actually might have given Florida their toughest game out of their 2nd of the back-to-back championships.
Tajuan started off his college career with a bang, going for no fewer than 27 in his first 3 college contests. The capper was a 38 point performance where he was 10-12 from downtown (one of which was a 60 foot buzzer beating heave at half). He also burned UNLV in the tournament for 33 to get us to the Elite 8 to play Florida. Without Aaron Brooks, Tajuan was never as effective. Brooks was a special player and we really needed a PG to play with Tajuan. Bonus points for having the spectacular athleticism AB possesses.
Was really hoping that St. Louis' Brian Conklin was chosen, guess he got passed up. Actually know people in Brian's family and met the young man himself, great kid. He had a really nice senior season for the Billikens, they gave Michigan State a really good game in the 2nd round of the tournament last year. He is kind of an undersized 4, though really tough and smart. His nickname is "the Oregon Destroyer", which suits him on the court. Guessing he may be headed overseas eventually, just know he was vying for a spot in the D-League.
So many names I recognize, though I will admit that I have never heard of quite a few of these guys. Their are a lot of great players out there who just need a little more polish or a chance to get a role. Crazy how many good basketball players there are out there, makes me appreciate the great ones that much more.
