Why was Michael Redd drafted so low?

[Marikina]

Guy had like great stats in college but fell to the second round of the draft? Did the guy had some massive question marks about him at the time?

Because drafting isn't about who put up the best stats in college, it's about projecting who has the skill set that will translate to the NBA the best.

Milwaukee has drafted a number of lower end drafts that teams passed up ..

How many teams would take Brogdan ?? :oldlol:

You can find the players, but the players also have to be coachable.

Bucks traded away a young 5 this year, cause the player thought he was better
than he was... he went to Detroit.

He never played as well after he left Milwaukee.
Says something about coaching and assistants.

Said he was all left handed. Said his shot took too much time to load up. He wasn't quick enough to play the two guard. But he was stronger than they anticipated. His shot was better than thought as people weren't blocking it. He also could post very well.

Redd wasn't very athletic and wasn't a very good shooter in college.

He hardly played his rookie year but i remember reading that he was working his ass off on his moves all the time. He would wear himself out working before games because he knew he wasn't going to play.

He made himself into a NBA player.

Michael Redd is a D-League G-League legend. I remember he used to drop 40 and 50 on the reg during Summer League games.

A sharpshooter doesn't shoot 31.5% from 3 as a junior, 31.9% for his college career. He wasn't that good inside the arc or from the foul line either.

There are lots of guys that do well in college, but obviously won't be able to replicate that success in the NBA.
