I know his name is not mentioned as a lottery pick, or even a 1st round pick for that matter. However, I have watched him play often at Maryland - the kid can play defense.

The knock against him is his inconsistent jumper, and turnovers. IMO, he has Piston DNA and some scouts believe he will surprise many at the next level.

He is projected to be a second round pick, if he was available at #27, if I were Joe D I would grab him.

I think that their is a chance he could be their at pick 57. I don't even see his name here

Himat, I see where they are predicting him to be a 2nd round pick. Don`t be surprised if he goes late 1st round though.

I think the kid is going to be a good back up #2 guard in the NBA, who can play defense.

I would grab him at #27 in the first round depending on who we get at 15, and who is still on the board.

This is where having that other 2nd would be ideal. Its not a steal if you grab him at 27 but at 42? a possible pilfer. His game reads like delfino almost. But i haven't seen him play and he was always mentioned as a fringe guy in the draft...after this, i'm definitely interested in him.

In the big games, the MSG games, the ACC, Strawberry is always likely to be Player of the game. He is smooth and has the talents of a LOul Deng. I believe he can mature into a Rip style game if he doesnt get carried away with 'having' to shoot the jumper. I'd definetly take him in the 2nd round or steal him in a move up trade. Good post D!

Here's why NBA Draft.net is so crazy. Why should the Pistons take a 18yr old from Memphis who may NOT be ready over 22yr old from Memphis who IS ready? I like Byars!Looks like Gomes of Boston.

I think I read recently that DJ Strawberry worked out for the Sonics or the Blazers. I'll see if I can find a link.

DJ Strawberry = Young Lindsey Hunter

He actually worked out for the Wiz the other day.

I should be able to find a link here in tbe local papers.

Not even close.
