Troy Caupain
I don't think Troy gets drafted but I do see he has been playing for a few NBA teams this spring. Any chance he plays D-League or do you all think he goes overseas?

How often does it happen where a team takes a chance with someone that no "experts" have on their draft board?

No way he gets drafted. He could play in the D-League but he'd make more money going overseas. So I think it depends whether he thinks he could make it to the NBA someday or not. I just don't think he's the right kind of player for that. But I guess stranger things have happened.

I don't think Troy is good enough. He isn't quick and doesn't shoot well enough. Seems like you have to do one of those things. An overseas career would be better than roaming the D-league for years in my opinion but it depends on what he wants to do.

Agreed. Physically he's not that much different than Kilpatrick, but he doesn't have nearly the scoring ability. I think he would have to become a lights-out 3-point shooter to make it in the NBA, and I just don't see that happening. That said, he's only 21, so maybe after a couple years of working on his game overseas he could get there.

Nothing about Troy is NBA material. He'll have a good career overseas. Good luck to him

His game is perfectly suited for high level European basketball. I don't see him playing in Euroleague during his first season but he could definitely be a contributor to a 1st division team in France, Germany, Italy, etc
