    Why is he not listed in the mock draft. To me he has first round talent. I know he draft stock has took a hit from injuries, but i doubt he goes undrafted. He posting good numbers so far 19 points 5 rebs 1.8 blocks and he shooting a good percent too (46% fg 45% 3pt 80% ft). He reminds me of Eddie Najera both are 6’8 and around 230 lbs but also with his ability to shoot, drive, pass, and occasional post up. If i was a Gm i’ll draft him late 1st to early 2nd round. Because he going to be a very solid role player.

    While I agree with you to an extent, it is slightly scary that he had two ACL tears. I think he is definitely a draftable prospect, but I can see why one would take cautionary measures before boosting Hummel up the draft board. Plus, what position does he play in the NBA? He is a solid offensive player, most definitely, but you left out the key word "defend". Who does he guard in the NBA?

    Hummel is not nearly the grinder that Najera is, though he is a superior offensive player. I like Hummel as a second round pick, because he is a smart player and very fundamentally sound, but I am not to sure where he fits in the NBA. Throw in the concerns with his injury, and I think that is the reason why Aran is probably taking a "wait and see" approach.

    His offense and fundamentals make him a good player but he is not first round talent.  I don’t like the Najera comparison because Eddy wasn’t/isn’t the offensive player that Hummel is.  Not even close. 

    He reminds me of Kyle Singler more than anyone.  He might be a slightly better overall player than Kyle but not by much.  Early 2nd round is the max I’ll give him.

    Wait and See approach is what alot of people are taking on Hummel..I do think he can play in the league..Despite his defensive short comings….He’s a good shooter,crafty player and aggressive on offense…He might go undrafted,becuz the injuries scare some folks..But whoever invites him to training camp will have a steal….

     Yes hes a tweener but he looks more small forward to me. And the Najera comparison was based soley on their both the same size and both are tweeners and the both are solid role players. And hummel is a solid defender in my opinion and everyone in te nba dont defend well. He’ll be a scoring role player

    Look at Tim Tebow, it only took one team to like him for him to go in the first round.  I say that Hummel is a sure-fire draft pick, even if it is in the late picks.
