    He's been invited to the Green Room, so he's going first round. Stats are here: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Austin-Daye-1316/

    He's a SF/PF tweener. 6'10.75" in shoes. 7'2.75" Wingspan, bad vertical at 28.
    21 year old Sophomore at Gonzaga.

    Rebounds well for pace-adjusted/40 minute numbers. 2.1 blocks a game in only 26 minutes. 42.9% 3 point shooting. Supposed to be very skilled with his shot. If could be had for a pick in the late teens/early twenties then I'd be all for it.

    Biggest weakness is his frame. He's skinny and not very strong.

    Discuss.

    Hard to predict or tell what we will do if we dont even have a pick. If we do get a pick, I think Morey will be getting a PG.

    if he is there late in the 1st, he's not NBA ready, but has great potential....

    I'd rather go with Chase Budinger as late 1st round pick....

    Just because you are invited to the green room doesn't mean you'll be drafted in the first round.

    He should have stayed another year at Gonzaga to develop and fill out his frame a little more.
    He's 2nd round material as of now.
