Ulrich I think speaks French and struggles with English in his interview (look up his combine interview) I don't think he would want to go to college as his first year might be too difficult for him due to the language barrier. I think he stays in and he drops big time. If a team is willing to work with him and his language and his rawness., then I think in a couple of years he is a lottery talent with his shooting passing, and drive game flashes.

Uhhh what? You understand going to college where you are surrounded with social activities with people your same age is 1000000% more conducive to assimilating w/ American culture than going pro, right?

If he really cant speak English all that well he might go to a veteran ladened team where no one hangs out with him and he doesnt really have much to do but go home and be by himself.

I mean, you think every draft prospect is great, so you're happy with anyone. I wouldnt call that being a deep draft. I would guess that every draft you can produce a similar list at 32.

How many players in that list would you bet a significant amount of money to have a 10 year career?

Ah yes the usual hyperbole from Cy. In the 2nd rd I look for guys with at least one or two translatable skills that can fill a role off the bench or raw players with great positional size and athleticism that you can try to mold. The guys I mentioned fit that mold and it is a bigger list than I have produced for any other draft that I can remember. Usually I get to around the 35th pick and then things get tough.

I'm not uninterested, but I think 10 will probably be too high for me, but I'd understand the swing on the athletic upside.

I'm still intrigued by his defense, size, and athleticism; but I think i had him too high on my wish list before. 10 sounds about right to me, but I had him around 5 before.
 
I still have Holland very high. Best physical tools at the top of the draft....great role player potential with physical tools + mentality. Shooting does suck, but that is also true for many of the top prospects and I find him to be the most compelling "if he can shoot" prospect.
