A year ago, Tevonn had entered the NBA draft evaluation period and then withdrew.  There were expectations entering the season that Tevonn might have a chance for the NBA depending on improvement in certain areas.  A year later, is there any word on the street that Tevonn might go late in 2d round or sign with an NBA summer league team, or is he headed to Europe? 

Additionally, where does Alize Johnson go in the draft tonight?

I don't think Tevonn is big enough, fast enough or shoot well enough to play in the League.  Europe for sure but not the highest level.

For a guard of Tevonn's size to make the league he needs to have the full package and the ability to play the point and be able to have a consistent outside jump shot. The handles and shot just isn't there for the league. Which is fine. Tevonn could have a very nice career in Europe and get even better then he currently is. His combination of athleticism, strength, rebounding, great perimeter defense and ability to take guys off the dribble will make him attractive to many European teams. I expect Tevonn to have a nice pro career.
