With the 55th pick in the NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select [url="http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/George-De-Paula-80325/"]George de Paula[/url], point guard, Brazil.
An interesting guy even if he's nowhere near ready to play in the NBA. He has good size, 6'6" and 200 pounds with a 7' wingspan and 8'8" standing reach; supposedly has huge hands. Has good not great athleticism. Great handle and has a lot of moves with the ball in his hands but is also turnover prone. Seems to have good court vision. Can't shoot and his mechanics are all fucked up; I'm hoping that it's fixable. Ideally, he'll be stashed overseas for a couple of years and have a chance to work on some of his weaknesses. A lot of upside and if he's able to reach it SA could have a special player.

Thanks for organizing it. It was a lot of fun. Wish the draft was tonight instead of next Thursday.

Yeah I wrote it down as Atkins then Gray and just wrote it wrong. I think both guys at 55-60 are good picks. But in my haste I just wrote the wrong guy--but this was the correct way I wrote it down. Atkins was ACC defensive player of the year and a real stalwart at PIT. His per avg production was also very high on either the best or 2nd best defensive team. Gray has a vertical of 37 inches at 6-10

Shit, really? I wasn't able to find him on draft express' mock draft anymore but I couldn't find anything that said he had pulled out.
