What does Chris Lofton do these days?

I loved watching Lofton. He brought something to UT that hasn't been here in ages. But his NBA potential is very low. He has never proven to do much more than hit contested shots. Which is something guards do in the NBA. But those guards also drive, play defense and can ball handle. Lofton is average at best at all these things.

He won our hearts with the long contested 3's and he was great at it. I'll never downplay the guy. He's a TN legend and should have his number retired to a roaring ovation.

He just doesn't meet the NBA criteria though.

As far as Jujuan. He's fast enough to put as a shut down guy and play some pesky defense. I wouldn't be surprised to see him deep on a roster where he gets some PT to shut someone down.

Ditto ... Lofton would have to play a SG and he would never get a shot off with Kobe, Wade, etc guarding him. 15 years ago he probably could have played in the NBA. The game has just gotten quicker and taller at the SG and SF positions especially.
