Just curios PG how many of the early round type guys really fall out?

BOF,

There actually are some every year. Maybe more so in high school than college, but it happens in both. Not many of these types end up signing though.

I think when an undrafted high school player becomes an early pick out of college, he had early pick potential out of high school.

I could give lots of examples, but one that comes to mind is Matt Wieters. He went uindrafted out of HS and was the MVP of the WWBA tournament after that draft. Several teams tried to sign him then. He had first round ability at that time. He didn't sign, went to GA Tech and then went in the first rd 3 years later.

It's all about projecting talent. So an argument could be made (withstanding signability) that a first rounder is a first rounder. They were all in high school at one time.
