Scottie Reynolds: The Undrafted All-American

Favorite quote:

"A little-known Senegalese forward who averaged 5.2 points a game in the French League this past season was among the players drafted on Thursday night. A college star who averaged 18.5 points and 3.3 assists and led Villanova to a surprise Final Four berth in 2009 was not."

With all due respect to that Senegalese forward for working hard and being dafted, how can teams pass up on such a great player like Scottie Reynolds? This isin't like a situation in Duke where all their players are great on the team, and are either great or a bust in NBA. He was single handedly always the main factor for Villanova! He helped that team so much with talent and leadership, and he doesn't even get drafted?

And 2 others stars, Scheyer and Collins did not get drafted.

Thoughts on this?

I forgot all about those players!!! I'm surprised none of them got drafted especially Sherron Collins. Scottie's a solid player too but I'm sure some team will sign one of them eventually. OMG I just now realized none of them got drafted. I wonder why someone like Jerome Jordan got drafted but a solid player like Scottie Reynolds didn't?flowersjf

I've always enjoyed watching Reynolds play at Nova, I heard he he dropped out of the draft though. I hope he gets a chance with a team, I think he has the potential to positively contribute. hockey73

I think he can become a great player in the NBA. I can see him turn into another Aaron Brooks.

I'm suprise Reynols didn't get drafted, same with Scheyer.

People look too much into intangblesand projectons. Scheyer is a good basketall player and will find his way onto a team.

As a Jayhawk fan though im not too suprised about Sherron. If you watched every KU game like I did there are times when you wondered if

Sherron wasnt a freshamn. His decision making is supect and he cant control his weight. He's a good guy so I hope he takes this as motivation.

Sherron got picked up by the Bobcats summer league team so hoepfully all 3 of these guys can make some teams training camp.

I think what teams are worried about with Scheyer is if he ends up a typical Duke draft pick, which is great in college, and just average in the NBA. I think he can be good in the NBA though, and I don't say that about too many Duke players.

I'm actually not too surprised with Sherron as Reynolds and Scheyer. Like you said, he makes silly mistakes, and things like weight problems are not good things to worry about as an NBA team.

I feel like Scottie's performance in this year's March Madness really hurt his draft stock. I'm pretty surprised Collins though didn't get drafted tho.CleanPlayer

I was shocked about Collins, I thought he might even go in the first round.Aspen706

You shouldn't be suprised. As a Jayhawk fan i've watched every game Sherron has played in for 4 years.

He's undersized, has had consatnt weight problems, and is a terrible decison maker. Peopel give the Nate Robinson comparsion but

Sherron sint nearly thr athlete Nate is. I hope Sherron suceeds because I really like him as an individual but I dont think he will have

a productive pro career.

They say that about so many players in almost every sport..Reynolds is a balanced athelete and he is a very good leader.

Thats true. That game was very disappointing to watch.

Looks like Scottie Reynolds will get his chance to play in the NBA after all : LINK

Granted, it's just the summer league, but if he plays well he might just be picked up.

As a Duke fan I was very sad when I was Schyeyer not get drafted along with Sherron Collins and Manny Harris.

Truthfully, I forgot all about Scottie Reynolds.
