NBA Draft '06: The All-Undrafted Team
There were a few names that were never called on Wednesday that could easily make rosters in the NBA this season. Below is the All-Undrafted team 2006.
Darius Washington: Any team looking for a PG should be looking to get this kid into their training camp. Atlanta especially would be out of their minds to not be on the phone with this kid who could turn out to be a very talented lead guard.
Taj Gray: After Washington, Gray is the most likely to become a very good player in the league. The late rush on foreigners sealed his fate. He might have had a chance to go to Minnesota but they grabbed the bulkier Craig Smith. With Drew Gooden likely gone, Cleveland might benefit from taking a look at Taj.
Allan Ray: A very good scorer, Ray is 6'2 which makes him too short for the point. Since he doesn't have the skills to be an NBA lead guard, most teams passed on him. Still, a team looking for a boost of the bench should give him a second look. Ray could be ideal for the Pistons.
Mike Gansey: Gansey is essentially a poor man's JJ Redick. He knows how to play the game but he simply might not be able to keep up with pro athletes. He's probably the most likely (along with Kevin Pittsnoogle) to excel overseas. Denver should take a look at him since they absolutely lack in the 2-guard position.
Kevin Pittsnoogle: If he could play a lick of defense, he would have been drafted. He can't so he wasn't. Pittsnoogle is a guy who could stick around the league for awhile and maybe find a niche but might be better off being a good player overseas. The Pacers might want to look into adding him since they seem to be losing all of their white perimeter big men. Honorable Mention: Jose Juan Barea, Viktor Keirou, Louis Amundson, Daniel Horton, Rashard Anderson.
Taj Gray: After Washington, Gray is the most likely to become a very good player in the league. The late rush on foreigners sealed his fate.
