2010 NBA Draft: Latest News on Un-Drafted Prospects

You seen a lot of smiles coming from the 2010 NBA draft. However, you seen a lot of frown afterwards for the players that was unable to be selected during the draft.


Now that the Summer League teams are forming, those un-drafted prospects are starting to get calls from NBA teams.


Here is the latest news on the un-drafted prospects


Sherron Collins 


Collins is an under-sized point guard that didn't hear his name on draft day for numerous reasons. Many question his work ethic because he seemed to be out of shape a lot at Kansas. He also went on poor shooting stretches.


However, the Bobcats have over-looked that and invited him to play on their summer league team.


Denis Clemente


Clemente, the electrifying point guard from Kansas State. Many questioned his true ability because he was previously unknown before this year.


Similar to Collins, he was sent an invite to join the Bobcats Summer League team as well.


Scotty Reynolds


It was an overall bad season for the senior. If he would have came out his freshman year, he would have been a lottery or mid-first round pick. However, he stayed and many say a lot of his flaws on offense.


He is the first All-American to not get drafted.


However, the 6-foot-1 guard landed a spot on the Phoenix Suns summer league team.


Brian Zoubek


Zoubek was what the Lakers needed with their second round pick. However, after seeing De'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks fall to them, they went another way.


Zoubek is proably one of the most underrated prospects in the 2010 NBA draft.


The Nets brought him in to play on their summer team to try him out.


Charles Garcia


Throughout the college basketball season, Garcia could have been a first-rounder. However, inconsistency bumped him all the way to the second. 


I don't think nobody expected him to go undrafted. But he did and he is know going to have to prove himself on the Knicks summer team.


Samardo Samuels


Samuels had too many flaws to ever be considered as a sure draft pick. He is 6-foot-8 with no freakish length or upside.


He was still invited to play on the Chicago Bulls Summer League team.


Manny Harris


If I would have told you that Harris would go undrafted, would you believe me? Harris is a big-time scorer and the main thing about him would be his position at the next level.


He was invited to play for the Cavaliers Summer League Team


Other notable summer league invites


Jerome Dyson - Cleveland Cavaliers
Jon Scheyer - Washington Wizards

2010 NBA Draft: Two Un-Drafted Prospects Find Their Homes

The title may be a little misleading because they still have to make the team. However, two point guards were the first to be invited to play on a NBA summer team.

Those two players are Duke's Jon Scheyer and UConn's Jerome Dyson.

Neither of the two was really promised to be drafted. Each have the ability to run the point but there are still question marks.

Dyson was announced to participate on the Cleveland Cavaliers summer team. 

On the other hand, Scheyer is going to D.C with John Wall and the Wizards.

Dyson seems to be in a situation where he could possibly make the roster. He is coming to a team that doesn't really need a point guard because of the services of LeBron James--that's assuming he stays.

He could come right in and play the role Mo Williams and Delonte West failed to play. 

He is very aggressive and has the ability to score the ball at will. 

He reminds me a lot of Phoenix Suns guard Leandro Barbosa. Neither player gets lift on their jump shot and both stand 6-foot-3. Not to mention, neither was looked on to be much of a threat in the NBA.

Barbosa proved he can be an under-sized shooting guard, can Dyson? We'll find out shortly.

As for Scheyer, he is also put into a place where he can make the roster. He is 6'5'' and has the ability to play either position.

He can come into Washington as a shooting guard and provide three-point shooting from the wing.

Not only that, when Wall is out he has the ability to run the offense. He sees the court well and get's his teammates involved on the offensive side of the ball.

Scheyer and Dyson are both placed in situations where they might make the roster.

More un-signed talent is one the way.
