Amile Jefferson

NOT 

I think he can end up like his fellow Duke alum Lance Thomas. An undersized 4 in college that produced well at school. And gets picked up by a team and develops better perimeter skills in the league and becomes a rotation guy as a backup 3 and small-ball 4.

 He’ll get a spot in the Summer League and an uphill battle to make a roster. He’s actually not as undersized as some people think (6’9 barefoot with 7’0 wingspan), the jumper (or lack thereof) is what’s stopping him from getting serious looks from NBA.

 ^and the body and the fact that he’s 23 already and probably still considered a "project" to be a contributor of any sort. 

Stand up guy though. I once told this girl i was talking to at Shooters to go flirt with him to get us drinks and he saw right through the girls games and quickly told her no. Got a good laugh out of it (the girl would brag about being able to do this all the time)

 Actually played ball with him when he was younger. He was more guard oriented at that time. When I saw he developed into a lengthy big years later I couldn’t help but think about how Anthony Davis did the same thing. Not comparing the two but perhaps theres a chance he can contribute on an NBA team.
