In the end, his shooting will determine if/where he is drafted, IMO.

It's true that his shot is not where it needs to be by a long shot.

But, it is easy to see that once players turn pro and can focus on their game 100% (if they choose to), they can really improve very quickly.

Dwayne Wade comes to mind. He was obviously a VERY, VERY special talent in college. But he certainly lacked handle and his shot, while more consistant then Lance, was not automatic. With work, it didn't take him long to become one of the best all-round players in the NBA.

Lance has much further to go then DWade, but I think he has a similar potential.

Dwayne Wade was/is far more athletic than Lance.
