Jack Cooley to get drafted
I have 2 "plusses" right now and I will probably loose them after I say this....
----I swear, I didn't know DX had Jack Cooley going with the 59th going to the Timberwolves before I started this thread. GOD KILL ME IF I'm LYING---------
His chances of getting drafted are 50/50.....Scouts have 2 questions about him..Can he hit that mid-range shot? And can he defend quicker players out on the perimeter..But even if he doesnt get drafted,he has a lot of positives to add to any team...He's willing to use his body to battle inside,he's good rebounder and he can blocks shots....
I just finished watching Notredame Vs. Villanova where Cooley had 17pts-17reb-3ast. (26pts-16rebs the next gamel)
I think this guy has a decent chance at getting drafted, he's snatching 11.3 rebs (top 5 in the country) and leads the NCAA in offensive rebounds with under 5 a game. He has a very high IQ and knows how to use the backboard with array of floaters to overcome being 6'9 and lacking explosion. He is not someone who is going to be making mistakes and missing easy/ open shots.
.
A team like the Timberwolves could grab him with the 59th pick and he would learn tons from playing with Kevin Love and Nikola Pecovic.
Thoughts???
