Doubtful

I don't think he would be drafted but the after last year the fact that this is even a discussion is a huge compliment to Duop and Wade for his progress. I believe he won't be drafted but is definitely in line for a G-league contract and is plenty good enough to make money playing basketball should he choose to.

Not physical enough and bad hands, but he has a great touch on his hook shots and bank shots, can shoot the 3 well and is good at free throws. He'll play overseas for sure if he wants to.

Highly doubtful, just adds no value defensively and doesn't rebound (basically not a great athlete). Offensively his game has improved a lot though. He could make a team through a 10-day contract IMO one day if he wants to stick it out in the G-league.
Otherwise he's probably best off going to Australia in the NBL or over to europe.

No.
1) He'd get eaten alive on the defensive end.
2) Not physical enough to make space on offense either.
3) NBA game is much too fast for him. He'd have trouble just catching passes and retaining the ball for any length of time.

I would not be surprised if he went back to Australia to play in the NBL. Its a really good league and he'd make a very good living doing it back home.
I think he has a lot to offer in professional basketball but not sure his game translates into NBA quite as much as some of our more recent tweener type guys who have made the league.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see him get picked late second with the other projects.
Parts of his game are very raw, but he is actually becoming very polished around the rim.

Absolutely! 1st rounder.

He will play overseas and make good money doing it. His improvement has been one of the best things about this season.

No, but he'll play forever overseas and make a great living.

1. He's 7 ft
2. He's athletic
3. He's become physical inside and can finish around the goal.
4. He can hit a mid-range jumper as well as 3 pointers.
He's worked his way into possibly getting drafted late.

I think he is still developing and progressing. I believe he only started playing basketball in high school I wouldn't bet on him getting drafted, but I wouldn't rule out him setting foot on an NBA court one day.
He needs to get a lot more physical on the defensive end and develop much better awareness and quickness. But with the way he can shoot and move for a guy who is that tall, I see some potential.

He's a project. Developing into a good player, but began the sport late.

First half of #3 is wrong but the rest is spot on.

Reading the responses prob tells me he will make it.
The rant told us
Garrett temple wouldn’t make the league
Tim quarterman wouldnt make the league
Ben Simmons would suck

He's neutralized on the boards by big, strong PFs and centers. Everyone has those at the next level.
He just isn't strong enough and doesn't play above the rim at all. Love him at LSU, but I think he'd get dominated in pro ball.
ETA:
by pro, I mean NBA. Overseas, Australia, etc, he'd do pretty well.

No. Not athletic/explosive enough
Posted on 2/12/18 at 12:30 pm to Lester Earl
he will get a look for sure, probably a UDFA Camp invite
the question is can he learn to guard the pick and roll, can he guard his position and will he rebound at all. his shooting/scoring will have to be elite to overcome some of his deficiencies

I'd take a flyer in the late 2nd round.
