Antopnio Blankney is under-sized for an NBA SG.


While true

He should be here at least two years



He's not getting bigger by staying. He is an elite scorer and an NBA team will draft him in the 1st round in 2016, he's gone. He is an NBA 6th man of the year type of player.

Simmons will go, Blakney will be up in the air I think.....good chance he ends up coming for one more year. I do not see Sampson getting enough PT to leave after a freshman season once we get Hornsby back.

Some of you guys do not get it smh... Just like y'all thought Mickey would get drafted but he got the best second round contract ever. Antonio is not undersized at all he is a good 6'4 and he is an elite scorer. Simmons is gone (obviously). The shooting guard position in the league has changed wade is only like 6'4 6'5 not comparing blakney to him but I'm just saying he will be fine

That's correct. The way they're playing now. Simmons will go #1 no doubt. Blakney will be a lottery pick and Sampson will go in the 1st.


Blakeney or Sampson not in any of the early mock draft's first rounds yet. Malik Newman is, and Tim Quarterman is, but I checked three and not yet for Blakeney and Samson.

I think Blakeney has a shot and I know he wants to go and thinks he should go. Not so sure about Samson, I think he's back next year.

6'4 makes him an undersized sg at the next level

Finding an exception doesn't change anything. In 2011, the average starting SG was 6'6 211. Average height of SG Drafted last year was 6' 5.6"

6'4 puts him on the low end for SG, hence undersized

Being undersized doesn't mean he can't be successful, but it hurts his draft stock.
