To the point where fans and even some experts around the league viewed him as a first round talent. In the end no team fell for it. Fun story.
Absolutely such a strange pre-draft campaign. I remember the hype and can't believe he didn't get picked even in the late 2nd round. It was surprising to me how quickly everyone moved on and didn't even give him a 2-way slot.

I think this summer league might be the most important time for him. If he shows out I can see some teams throwing him a spot since he's still young.

In my quick little google search of him I saw that he asked out of his contract himself! Weird thing to do especially if you're averaging 3 points a game on terrible efficiency. Maybe his agent was like "We got to get him somewhere where he can put up a massive amount of points" ?
