The NBA drafts on results and considers potential...the greater your perceived potential, the more of a risk they'll take on you, but don't kid yourself believing for one minute that Kostas will get drafted on potential. The NBA has plenty of All-Stars taken in the 2nd round...it's not always a wasted pick.
IF an NBA team decides to throw away their 2nd round pick and choses Kostas, it'll be for his name and nothing else. Face it, if his name were Josh Benson, we'd all know and admit the truth.
