“Wenyen, a couple of the teams he worked out for late in that first round, really liked him,” Calipari said on today’s NBA Draft teleconference. “Reason is, he’s 6’10” and he can really shoot and that’s kind of where the league is going. Now, physically, he’s gotta get stronger and I think in an NBA environment, I think within a year, you would see someone who is 6’10”, physically able to battle, and can really shoot it. Right now, the physical part is a little tougher for him but again, I think if someone could get him in that late second, that’s a steal in my mind.
