I want Juwan on a team that can use him and not one that is loaded at guard and will cut or trade him a year from now.

I'm worried about Staten's chances on the next level mostly because of his outside shot.

D league will be a big help for him.His speed will give him a chance at the NBA.

Staten showed a lot of NBA-like offensive potential his junior season when he lead the Big XII in scoring. Helped in having Harris/Henderson/Dibo stretching the floor with 3s. Was basically open season to take his guy off the dribble & make a play. That season in particular his mid-range shot was very reliable & he consistently finished inside too.

Seems to perform best against man-to-man, which is all the NBA is. Staten measured a 41 inch vertical last month, which places him among elite NBA talents in that measure of athleticism. So he's on the smaller side for a NBA guard, but can get up.

I agree the D-League will help. Unless a guy is taken in the first round - the guaranteed contract round - it doesn't mean much to get drafted.

Hope he can find a home in the league. Will be making money playing somewhere.

His best chances are Houston, OKC, Washington, and New Orleans.

recapping, Staten's worked out for Lakers, Suns, Wizards, Thunder, Rockets & Sixers.

NBA Summer League tips off in July. That'll be the next big chance for Staten to perform.
