I was looking around at the undrafted players that may be worth a look. What do you guys think of these players? Is there anyone else that may be worth a spot on SL team?
Pat Calathes SF St. Joes – The player I probably like the most. Doesn’t really have an NBA position, he is a PG in a SF body. At 6'10" with his skill set he is definitely worth a shot. Had a really good pre-draft camp, competed very well against the competition.
From nbadraft.net
Strengths: A point forward, excellent ball handling and passing ability. Was a 5-11 PG until a late growth spurt in high school … Retained PG instincts and abilities ... Excellent outside shooter. Shoots 40% from 3 and FT shooter: 82% ... Solid agility and speed for size ... Sets up teammates well with good vision and is very unselfish ... Has developed his one-on-one skills well, in particular his ability to use the dribble drive to score ... Shoots well off the dribble ... Uses both hands well around the basket ...
Josh Duncan PF Xavier – A big man with a nice outside shot. Super strong, benched the most (26 times) out of any player at pre-draft camp.

Strengths: Good NBA size for a power forward. Long wingspan. Good strength. Great three-point shooter for a big man. Excellent free throw shooter. Smart player.
Jamont Gordon PG/SG Miss St – Probably the best player not drafted.

Strengths: Strong combo-guard ... Fine athlete with good wingspan ... Stat-sheet filler, able to contribute in 4 categories ... Built like a tank, knows how to use his body ... Very crafty scorer, utilizes hesitation, crossover and in-and-out dribbles to get his defender off-balance before going by ... Reliable midrange game ... Quick release and nice elevation allow him get his shot off against virtually anyone ... Good defender, uses his strength and length ... Good rebounder, averaged around 7 rebounds.
Gary Forbes SG UMASS – Does a lot of things well but is not great at any. Had a good college career and pretty good pre-draft camp, but was still not drafted.
