why not look at Wayne Ellington looks like this kid could be a real steal. I think everyone should check out his video highlight.Looked like he was knocking shots down from everywhere on the court and taking it to the hoop and putting it in the hole.check out his moves (cross over) Kid looks very good could be a late or early second rd. steal. What do you all think about the kid. Give me some feed back on this kid. He is also a four year collage player like B.Roy does anyone know any more about him then whats in the Video. Please everyone take a look.

I don't know anything about him,

but I believe he’s actualy a sophomore, not a four year player. He’s a great shooter, but overall I think Portland can, and will, do better. Maybe he is a steal, but a better fit elsewhere as he is definitely a SG.

I meant I don't know anything about him, other than those few things

Nice correction...

and yeah, probably not for the Blazers at the time being.

That's what I'm here for

and I spelled “actually” wrong… On the topic of steals, I might expand it to include Kyle Weaver and Lester Hudson as well.

Ellington is excellent

... and underrated as an NBA prospect, I think. He’s not super quick - his major deficiency - for an off-guard, but he has a superior jump shot, runs the court on the break, is a willing defender. He was a really important part of NC’s run last year, and I think he suits the pro game better than college. Someone will draft him, and we’ll get a chance to see just how pure that jump shot is, because he’ll make somebody’s team if it actually is a great shot. Good scouting!
