Denis to test the waters???

[doom]

What are the odds of Denis getting drafted following next season?  Was that even mentioned prior to him coming to KSU? 

Post again...  what do you all think are the odds of Denis getting drafted after the '09/'10 season?  Asking because I don't remember hearing anything about his pro potential prior to now.  Has he always been looked at as a possible NBA player, or is this the product of Frank/'walt/etc.?

I think Denis came into this season as somewhat of an unknown.  Pretty much the way scouts look at players that are dismissed from teams for undiscloesed reasons imo.

Denis has shown to possibly have pro potential, but he needs to find the right speed to play at.  He is much quicker than everyone KSU surrounds him with.  It also doesn't help to have the bigs that we have as they are not the best at posting up and finishing thus making a lack of assists for Denis.  Next year should be better with Judge, (but we need to remember he will only be a freshman) and Kelly (Hopefully he will show the same development that Denis has shown after his transfer).

I think it is great if he tests the waters so he can find out what he needs to work on for the next year.  He definitely isn't ready for the league next year, but neither was Walker.  I sure can't blame a kid for following his dream though. 

He wasn't in a situation in Miami that was working for him or that he was working for so I don't think people knew how good he can be.  I've seen him adjust his speed and play at a competitive level ever since coming off of the losing streak.  He has shown an ability to lead the team and to score the ball.  I could see him getting taken in the early second round next year.  His stock could be inflated a few spots also due to his position.  I like his idea of testing the waters, especially since you can only do it once time, and he's choosing to do it between his junior and senior year.
