121Merrimac Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Perk went off for 20 pts & 9 reb today. He led his team in both categories, in a two point loss. CJ gets started tomorrow. https://www.portsmouthinvitational.com/schedule-results 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ is the closest, but still isn't really on the draft radar in general. As best he and maybe Perk and/or Harris will be signed to play for an NBA team in the G League. Most likely they all end up with good gigs overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGBull Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I could see those 3 getting summer league invites, most likely playing oversees or G league after. If they play well in the summer league then they might get a two-way contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on. The draft is mostly about projecting guys therefore younger guys and overseas guys get drafted. If CJ gets drafted it’s in the 2nd round. If he gets invited to the draft combine that will be a telling indicator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATL92 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I saw at least one mock draft with CJ as a very late 2nd rounder. Edited April 18, 2019 by ATL92 correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever did should have his head examined. It’s just going to be tough for CJ. In the eyes of nba scouts he’s a finished product whereas with all the underclassmen declaring (yea I do know most of them will withdraw) their raw potential will overshadow CJ.

Agreed on that, he is a great shooter but he doesn’t make his own shot per se. No type of Curry step back in his arsenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some crazy website even had him mock drafted into the 1st round which I think is a certain reach. Getting a mens player drafted would be the last check on my bucket list for this years team. Hoping CJ has a good showing here to boost his chances of mid-late 2nd rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGBull Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Looks like Perk played well again with 16 pts and 5 boards on 6-9 shooting. CJ had a quiet game scoring wise but still pulled down 6 rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
121Merrimac Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 I agree with DB06. I don’t recognize many names in the overall PIT roster. It’s difficult for me to project NBA draft prospects from this tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumBull Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Maybe one in ten players in this tournament get drafted. Just by playing in it is a admission of fringe prospects at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average those players are mid second round picks (43.667). I also see very little correlation between production per minute in the tournament and odds of getting drafted. So I'd say this has a mostly negligible effect on anyone's draft stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue32 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Yeah that being said I don't have any data on how many make G-League or summer league teams, and I think Massinburg, Perk, and Harris are all definitely good enough to do that if they choose (although Europe makes better money). They could make their way into the NBA that way, similarly to Jaylen Adams from Bona this year. I'll also still hold out some hope on C.J. getting drafted since there's some buzz there but I remember being disappointed after thinking the same thing about McCrea.

The best one out there doesn't even have them listed as prospects https://www.nbadraft.net/2019mock_draft 60 picks only 9 seniors drafted in that mock. As I said before the draft is most underclassmen and international players. There are other avenues to the NBA...CJ, Harris and Perkins May have to explore those.

everlast2504 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Gonna ask the obvious question. Did any of them even declare for the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 A couple of them signed with various agencies (CJ and Dontay) there could be more but those are the two that I know of, not sure about actually declaring though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDerekRx Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I enjoyed this article specifically about him and his draft prospects but it was before the NCAA tournament. https://heavy.com/sports/2019/03/cj-massinburg-nba-draft-projections-mocks/ I think that is generally when multiple websites had him projected in the 2nd round. He had a quiet NCAA tournament not helped by playing a team like TT in the second round. Ive also heard performance in the PI doesnt go a long way regardless. CJs workouts are probably going to be the most important in deciding if he gets picked late 2nd or not. Either way cool to see his team win the title and Perkins had good statlines all 3 games.
