Several Euro projects picked late in the 2nd round are a ploy to use the pick but not be obligated -- since there really just wasn't any talent there worthy of drafting.
Then go after whoever you want as a free agent, and it will cost you less than having drafted them.

CHN had their mock, and listed Cellus as the 23rd player (in order) beyong the 60 who were drafted.
That means he'd have gone in the 3rd round if they had one.

What happens to Sommerville now??

What happens to Sommerville now??

I saw him on campus today. I would assume that he will work out for teams, try to catch on with someone's summer team, and then hopefully make their NBA roster. I guess the NBDL is an option as well.

I predict that cellus probably wont make a NBA roster kinda like what happened to Gilbert when I believe he was cut from the Heat and now is playing over in Europe somewhere. I think Cellus can have a good career over there if he chooses to do so.
