Sort of ballsy to declare for the draft out of a JC, no? He wasn't good enough to make DIII? He did average 35 PPG.

At least he likes the right team.

Nice find
This guy is intriguing. He was once one of the best prospects in the country. But then he got in repeated trouble with the law.
He didn't play well in the pre-draft camp. He didn't test out to be that good of an athlete. However, I think he's well worth the gamble at 57. 6-foot-9 shooting guard with scoring upside? Yes, please.
DITTO!!..
I like this dude already! Lets get him!
Yea he looks like he could be a good fit... hope the FO is looking at this guy...
its rare that 57th picks are ever anything more than bench warmers.
A 2 or 3 at 6"9? R U kidding me? If he is as good as he makes himself sound, I say go for it. He's very confident and that could be good and it could be bad. Seems like a good guy.
A good pick at the very end of the 2nd. If he can succeed, it'll be with a team like the Spurs where the locker room is extremely stable and close.
He's almost 6'9 in shoes, but his wing span isn't what you would expect
w/o shoes: 6' 7.5"
w/shoes 6' 8.75"
weight: 190
wingspan: 6' 7.25"
stranding reach: 8' 8.5"
body fat %: 4.0
no step vert: 26.0
max vert: 27.0
For the record, much of JC ball is higher quality than D3, or even D2 for that matter.
You'll see more future NBA players at the NJCAA tournament in Hutchinson than you will in the D2 or D3 tournaments combined. (And that tournament in Hutch doesn't even include the California schools.)
Anyhow, declaring for the NBA straight of JC is not that uncommon. And Brumbaugh is already 22, so it's kinda now or never.
Major character risk, but I would guess the Lakers would also take a long hard look at him with their 2nd round pick if he is still on the board.
I would rather us take Joey Dorsey if available, we need a big body thug type to protect our delicate, highly skilled, finesse players.
Yep. Farmar and vujacic being the delicate ones.
DX is now suggesting, with character issues, a bad draft-camp, and underwhelming measurements, there is no reason to expect this guy to get drafted.
Take him in the D-League draft.
linkOne of the teams most interested in Brumbaugh has been the four-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, according to Derrick Worrels, Brumbaugh's coach at Hillsborough Community College. (Spurs director of college scouting declined to comment on Brumbaugh on Thursday.)
At 57 this guy would be well worth the risk. 45 would be too early ..... but not a horrible pick if the Spurs are for some reason sold on him. This guy was lottery projected not too long ago.
Arrested 6 times in the last 18 months and was terrible in pre-draft workouts.
Not that the 57th pick means a whole of alot, but damn...
Roll over the 57 like in previous years. Invite him to summer league, whatever.
That isn't a bad idea unless there is some potential badass available at #57.
Given the tiness of the free agent market, I'd be inclined to use #57 if one of the ridiculous athletes who have at least one basketball skill is still available.
