    Villanova has a few Pro prospects but not in there senior class. Reggie Redding may have a chance to go overseas because of his size and he is well Coached. Scottie, will get a chance to play summer league but won’t be drafted. He’s no better than Allan Ray a former Villanova great. Scottie lacks point guard skills. If he where 6-5 and does what he’s doing, he would be a great pro. Problem is, he’s 6′ on a good day..At the Wizards camp they had him listed at 5’11. He’s a great scorer but at the next level he will be a lead guard and he lacks the point guard knowledge to be a NBA point guard. He’s not a great defensive player at all. And to be that size in the NBA you have to have something special about you, besides shooting the ball..There have been a lot of great College small guards that didn’t make great pros..I.E, Trajan Langdon of Duke, Shawn Respert of Michigan St..I can go on and on..He lacks a great handle of the ball, yes he has a step back move that will draw fouls but he can’t take anyone off the dribble and create his own shot..So overseas, Scottie will do well..

    Now, the Underclassmen, Yes..I see a few pros. I see both Corey’s being pro’s. I see Malik Wayns being a Pro and definitely see Dominic Cheek being a pro, he could have a chance to be the best shooting ever and past Kerry Kittles..I’m not sold on Taylor King yet, he has the heart of a lion..I see with a lot of hard work Isaiah Armwood and Mouphtau Yarou being good players..I’m not forgetting my favorite player Antonio Pena..He has another year left to show he can be a player. He just lacks consistency. Once he becomes a player Nova can depend on, he’s gonna be a great overseas player. He will keep a job..The kid always had a pro body but his talent level hasn’t caught up yet..

    All in all, these kids are well Coached and can be Coached into being great players..

    I agree with the previous comment EXCEPT Scottie Renyolds.

    I believe he might have a shot in the NBA. I believe he can run the point position as a backup in the NBA

    If Scottie Reynolds makes an NBA squad, I feel he will be a Jannereo Pargo type player.

    As far as Reynolds’ chances, there is such a thin line between a guy who makes it and who doesn’t make it but goes on to star oversees. Some guys just can’t play dead (Saer Sene, Robert Swift, Dalibar Bagaric, Pavel Podkolzine, Rafael Araujo, Nikoloz Tskitishvili, etc), others get hurt and can never either fulfill their potential or get back to the level of play that made them a star, some have the talent but lack the maturity and professionalism, but most of the guys who don’t make despite good health, good maturity and professionalism, and the ability to truly star in college is just bad luck. Reynolds doesn’t have the game to star in the NBA, but he does have the game to find a niche. Anthony Parker didn’t magically become a better player the second time around. He found a better fit. A guy like Sundiata Gaines was never considered a guy worth getting a chance until he got one. Now, he might hang around Utah for a bit because every time they need him to do something he does. People cannot make the argument that Reynolds is not a better prospect than J.J. Barea was. I don’t see him being a significantly worse prospect than Jeff Teague was last year. At this point, I think he is a better player than many of the washed up points lining NBA benches (Lindsey Hunter, Jason Williams, Derek Fisher, Mike James, etc). I don’t think there is a good reason Chris Quinn continues to be in the league other than teams know that he has been in the league for a while.

    He needs a break, which is probably true of 90 of anyone’s top 100 for any draft. If a team falls for him in the way teams often like the “winner” guys, then he has a pretty good chance of making it. Tyler Hansbrough didn’t merit a lottery pick, but Indiana loved the winner guy. They loved the try hard guy. New Jersey fell for Terrence Williams. He is a skinny 6’5″ small forward who can’t shoot. How did he go in the lottery? Louisville won games last year. If Reynolds carries Villanova to the Final Four again, I don’t just think he gets drafted but will probably end up going in the 20-40 range. There is absolutely no reason that the argument so many make to justify Luke Harangody as a late-first, early second round pick cannot similarly be made for Reynolds.

    I like that Jannero Pargo comparison for Reynolds…Its always hard to give a comparison for him, but I like that one.

    Maalik Wayns is very similar to Kyle Lowry. He may not be as intense a defender, but he’s not far off.

    Dominic Cheek reminds me of Kerry Kittles too. I like that comparison Roundball Guru.

    Yarou plays like Tyrone Hill used to back when played for the 76ers. He’s a grinder with a strong body and good explosion finishing at the rim.

    guy above me, i was thinking that exact thing… although i think will bynum has better court vision and is a little smarter with the ball… i really dont think the pistons know what theyve got with will bynum… hes a great player that could start on a lot of teams… hopefully they keep him long term.

    He’s not the athlete Bynum is, that’s why the Pargo comparison fits better…
