Svensk i första rundan?

Svenske ungtuppen Jonas Jerebko ser ut att ha en hyfsad chans att bli draftad i första rundan i NBA-draften. Branschledande draftsajten draftexpress.com har precis petat upp Jerebko som siste man i runda 1, alltså som draft pick #30, tillhörande Cleveland. Konkurrenten nbadraft.net har Jerebko som femte man i runda 2, alltså #35 totalt sett.

I helgen var det draftcamp i italienska Treviso och NBA-bossar och jänkejournalister var där i klasar och glodde på de europeiska löftena. Jerebko gjorde bra ifrån sig.

Draftexpress.com gav ett gott betyg: "Coming off an impressive showing in the Italian league semi-finals, Jerebko played only one game here on the camp’s final day. Regardless, he was able to make his presence felt immediately, looking impressive in both the morning drills and the actual game--giving the NBA people a very good feel for what he brings to the table. [...] Considering the small sample size, there wasn’t a whole lot more Jerebko could have done. After seeing him a number of times in person over the past year and a half, it’s safe to say that there aren’t many players like him in this draft."

Nbadraft.net var än mer nöjda och rankar Jerebko som bäste spelare i campet: "His outside shot was working and he was able to step out to the NBA three and easily knock down a couple from deep. He showed his athleticism on a backdoor cut where he finished with a nice dunk over a big help side defender. His strength is also a key ingredient to his game as he is able to battle with bigger players inside and can also do some damage with his back to the basket. [...] he seems like a great kid who is willing to put in the work and as a result he should have a good chance to play in the NBA."

Hm, som nr 30 alltså. Det skulle innebära att han tangerar det nordiska rekordet i NBA-draften i så fall om jag inte har helt fel?
