Could he be playing himself into a draft pick? We know the NBA LOVES dudes who can knock down the open shot. Now he's added other parts to his offensive game. I think he will always be a liability on defense but that's not why he's out there and that can be improved with proper coaching, reps, and effort. He will also go get tough rebounds as a guard. You'd think a team like the Spurs, who have Fox and Wemby but need more spacing, would love to snatch a guy like that up and have him come in 7-10 min a game, knock down a couple 3s, think like a Danny Green type role.
He's gotten better this year at certain things I see no reason why he wouldn't continue to do so. Plus he will probably shoot 45%+ as he will be a secondary option and guys will leave him open MUCH more. You need a all star level pg and a big who can score but he could really do some damage if put in the right situation.
Wouldn't surprise me to see someone take him in the second. At the end of the day it's going to depend on fit, he will do much better in a system that has a defined role rather than say the Rockets which is like organized chaos. Not a ton of 6'6" dudes that shoot 45% from 3, can bring the ball up in a pinch, decent passer, above average rebounder. Really all he can't to is guard and he's getting more scrappy(not counting today where he got bodied by a kid that was 6'2" 200).
