I'll admit that I haven't watched much college basketball this year, but this kids skill set impressed me. has he played this way all season? If he's available I wouldn't mind seeing him in Pelicans uniform.

Sadly he will be drafted near the end of the 1st round by the Spurs and turn out to be a damn good NBA player most likely

Been a huge fan of his since last season. Kid can flat out play. Not an elite athlete but still above average athlete. Hes very smooth, under control, and has a well rounded offensive game. Has good post moves when a smaller guy is on him and is decent from deep. Not a great 3pt shooter, but not bad either. And hes improved each year across the board. And is an 85% FT shooter.

Sadly, I agree with RTR. Hes the type of player that teams like the Bulls and Spurs take in the mid to late 1st. Doesnt scream all star type player, but is experienced, hard worker, and has no ego. If anything, I think he will move up on draft boards.

But I would love to get him somehow.

Edit: Just read a few things that said his stock is soaring after their loss vs Kentucky. Potentially lottery pick now.

You weren't the only one impressed.

"Cleanthony Early's improved draft stock"
quote:

Following Wichita's States loss to Kentucky on Sunday, ESPN.com's Chad Ford tweeted: "Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker both really helped their NBA Draft stock here."

Ford ranked Early as the No. 22 best prospect on his Top 100 Big Board prior to the start of the NCAA Tournament and when it's updated the small forward will probably be higher.

ESPN's Jay Bilas is also impressed with how Early played in the two games.
