Pope is a rebounder/shot blocker that never quite lived up to the lofty expectations many had for him. ...Pope averaged 12.8 points, and 6.8 rebounds as a Senior. He has NBA athleticism, and he is good at hitting the offensive glass. . …Pope shot 38.2% 3-pt. FG for his career at SDSU. He was a 68% free throw shooter. …He had more turnovers than assists in each season. ...San Diego St. was better defensively with Pope on the floor. Pope broke his left leg in 2012. He broke it again and tore his meniscus, causing him to miss his entire senior season of high school (Laguna Creek HS, Sacramento, CA.). ...Pope could be a late second round selection. We think he can potentially be a backup PF in the NBA.

 

Good Advice: In 2010, the 28th pick in the NBA Draft was Greivis Vasquez. We advised, "Draft Hassan Whiteside."
