I think Josh Duncan from Xavier is going to be a pretty good NBA player because of his ability to shoot and his overall physical presence inside. Overall I think whatever team that picks him up is going to have someone special coming off the bench, he is an enegy player. You can see the passion he has for the game and will be good as an NBA player.
Who do you think is going to be the best undrafted player in this year's draft?
Duncan is a great choice for something like this because he can do so many things well and as you said brings energy and will play hard. I always forget about him, and I think has a chance to get drafted.
A guy that I really like, however, is Chris Daniels from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. He is a legit 7-0, and while he doesn't dominate inside, he is a pretty balanced scorer. 34% from 3. 50% overall. I just think at 7-0 he is going to have an impact off the bench somewhere. If he dominated inside like he should, he is a 2nd round lock. But as it stands I think he could put himself into the 2nd round, but may very well go undrafted.
Gary Forbes is a great pick. He is the type of player that would probably go early in the 2nd round if he didn't have one major weakness, and that is of course shooting. He is the type of guy I could see spending a year and a half in the D-Leauge and work on his shot, and then get brought up by a team and be a solid player. But if he wants any shot at getting more than a few 10 day contracts, he needs to work on his shot.

I agree,hes very streaky in each game and has hot and cold spells.
He might start out a game hitting 5 straight shots,and get too trigger happy and take 7 more shots and miss them each.
He also has to cut down on his turnovers,the guy starts thinking hes a PG at certain points in the game.
Rarely makes a mistake with the ball in his hands, Can knock down the 3 with consistency, would be an excellent back up point guard...Comparable to Derek Fisher..
Darris Nichols is an extraodinary athlete that can help any team and be a problem for the opponent.
disco has a great list of of undrafted players espcecially with Nelson,
Ewing, and Padgett. All these guys are flying under the radar and can become superstars after a few year in the NBA.
