Jajuan Smith

Does anyone here think Jajuan Smith will be drafted after his senior year? Or does anyone think he can make a pro roster as a free agent if not drafted?

No idea. Will get a better idea next year

He'll have to improve a lot. Players like him are a dime-a-dozen in the NBA.

He's a little undersized at 6-2 and he doesn't shoot well enough for an NBA player. However, the improvement in consistency from last year is dramatic. If he can improve this much again, who knows what the late 2nd round could hold for him...

Yup the only guys in the NBA that play that sort of style are 6 foot 7. Guys like T-Mac and whatnot.

I don't see him being drafted. He needs to improve his shot a lot more in order to open some more eyes, he is lacking size and that will hurt him more than anything.

he's undersized and needs to improve his shooting and driving ability. He can maybe go 2nd round but its so hard to make a roster. I see him as a European player for career.

Maybe he and Major can turn into a real dangerous pick and roll threat in a Greek league.

Major Wingate - Turkish Basketball League Player

One of the ways he might get drafted is let's say we make an unbelievable run in the ncaa tournament and juan really carries himself as a junior/senior leader along with lofton. Juan could get most of his attention just playing side by side with Lofton. If Juan pulls through in some clutch situations, he could really create a big name for himself. An NBA team would have to take him.

europe if lucky

He'll play in one of the lower tier foreign leagues. Not talented enough to make a roster in any of the elite European leagues.

He will probably end up overseas with his cousin V. Yarbrough

AHHHH.....finally someone made the intangibles argument that we continually use in support of our arguments for Dane Bradshaw on the UT all decade team.
