Good pick. UCLA recruited him pretty heavily before Duke got involved so we saw a bunch of stuff on him coming up he has lots of upside. Raw but seems coachable.

The Suns were convinced he would not be available at this pick.

As good a pick as we could have hoped for here. Nearly everyone in this draft is going to be a shot in the dark, anyway. At least he fills a serious need if he pans out.

Really interesting Demin went ahead of Jakucionis very similar players, Demin is bigger but not as good a shooter at least not right now.
