why did vaden get drafted when christmas, heytvelt, harris, adrien, jerrells, etc. vaden wasnt even that great in college and is older than most seniors. i doubt he will even make a roster this year. maybe d league

He probably won't. All that

He probably won't. All that he is is a shooter, though a streaky shooter. OKC traded for him because they have absolutely no 3 point pressence other then Durant and Green (kinda)... I doubt he will make the team and you are right, he is headed straight to the D-League

i agree

They could of got Jerel McNeal, who is a way better shooter and has a good basketball IQ. Does anyone know where McNeal is now?

Robert Vaden is a much

Robert Vaden is a much better shooter than Jerel McNeal. You must have never seen him play. McNeal is a better defender and slasher, but he isnt a better shooter
