Jamil Wilson

[Wojo'sMojo]

Just read a tweet from Jake Thomas to Dylan Flood. He wished him good luck in the draft tonight. He was obviously being sarcastic and Flood thanked him for supporting his dreams. Kind of funny coming from Jake, who has just as much a chance to get drafted as Flood. Anyways, this made me think of Jamil and the draft. Can you envision any scenario in which a team would draft him tonight? I don't think so, but all it takes is one team to fall in love with his measurables.

Bribery.

Bucks have 3 second rounders.  Unless they trade them, I could see the Bucks taking a chance on him.

No chance.

Not very unusual measurables for the NBA.  Five years of college where he never lived up to those measurables (by NBA standards) makes him less draftable then when he was a HS senior.

If the Buzzard had unleashed Jamil his senior year....

People who gush about Jamil Wilson's measurables stopped measuring him when he was a sophomore in high school.

If Crean wouldn't have bolted, he'd use his many NBA connections, aina?

[ThatDude]

I actually believe Gardner has the better shot to be draft than Jamil does

Jamil would definitely have a tryout with either the Ravens or the 49ers as a tight end.

In a recent workout he measured in at 6'8" with a 41 inch vertical and a 7 ft wingspan. I think that would be pretty impressive to NBA gm's? I don't think he's an NBA player, just think someone might fall for measurables and think they can mold him.

Not quick enough.

Cronies like LaRussa, McCarthy, or Maddux coulda found a way, hey?

Based on shying away from contact, I doubt it.

Actually, if it weren't for his phenomenal vertical, I think Davante would have a legitimate shot at that. Good footwork; soft hands.

Plus, looking at game film, he already knows how to sell a pass interference call...

Davante would make a fantastic lineman (either side).

Awesome feet, understands leverage, spacing, good hands, etc.

I don't know that he could play in the NFL, but he could have played college football, no doubt in my mind.

Jamil is a high quality young man. I hope that some team takes a flyer on him tonight. The Bucks should be willing to give a local kid a shot. Would be good PR and he would be a great representative of the team in community relations..  I know all the downside of Jamil from watching these last few years, but he does have some athletic qualities that could be captured.

He'll get an invite to training camp somewhere, but no team is going to use a pick on him

[Galway Eagle]

Harlem Globetrotters still draft? I could see them taking a chance on him.

To be fair he didn't really earn a pick with his play. However, I never understand the logic in drafting some slow soft 7 foot European in the late second round on a wing and a hope  . When instead a team can pick a local good quality guy. Back in the day ,the Pistons would actually draft local guys on that basis, and would pick up players like a Terry Duerod or John Long and it made their team much more fun and  interesting.

Back in the days of the seven round NBA draft, I'm thinkin'.

At 57, I have the same chance as Jamil of getting drafted tonight.

Jamil is like Bernard Toone -- lots of talent that was never close to being fully realized. You can try to blame Buzz, but Jamil has only Jamil to blame for his present predicament.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

No

[Windyplayer]

I disagree. There was never a tremendous amount of talent. He was a pretty good player with amazing measurables. That "lots of talent" ship sailed after it was never "realized" during his four years at MU.

[Hards Alumni]

This thread is so precious.

Neither Jamil or Davante will sniff the NBA, let alone the NFL.
