| Downey, Devan | South Carolina | 5'9" | 173 | PG | SR. | Downey is a small scoring Point Guard that poured in 22.5 points per game in 2009-10. He had one of the most incredible individual games of the 2009-10 NCAA season. He single-handedly beat Kentucky with an array of crazy conversions of the dribble. He can get to the rim. He may be the fastest player in college basketball with the ball in his hands. …Shows the ability to hit deep shots under duress. ...A fifth year Senior. ...Downey, at 5'9" has learned to adjust by leaning back when he rises up to shoot. His crossover dribble is ill! He gets very low, and he has the ability to change speeds with his dribble. ...A cold blooded offensive player that has no problem taking a big shot. ...He gets steals at a high rate. As a Senior - he averaged 2.7 steals per game. ...Built solidly for 5'9". ...There is not much in-between game in his arsenal. He seems to shoot threes or lay-ups. ...A one man press breaker. ...Fearless. |
Where do I expect Downey to be taken? He most likely will not be drafted.
Good advice: In 2002- DaJuan Wagner was drafted sixth. We had him listed 33rd.
Poor advice: In 2002 - We had Melvin Ely listed 8th. He was picked 12th. Ely played seven years in the NBA but he never lived up to the promise he showed in college.
