Well into the 2nd round and Junior is listed as the 29th best player available—8th best PF according to ESPN.
So, what are his options if he doesn’t get drafted?
Summer league invite. Could land him with a G league team or even an NBA team if someone sees him fitting. He isn’t going to fit with just anyone. He’s such a unique player. He’s good-if he can get the catch and shoot three he will be a shoe-in for a roster. I think a lot of front offices want to see him develop a true perimeter game. He doesn’t have to shoot 40%.. but hitting 35% would make him viable. And he will have to do it against true nba talent competition
Looks like Memphis.

There are a lot of places in the world now where you can play ball and make decent money. I hope he makes in the league and can stick, but like I said with his skill set and size he kind of falls in between roles in the NBA. If he was a better ball handler it would help him.
Lofton's summer league debut Tuesday....9pts / 3 Rebs / 4 PF in 15 minutes. Pretty productive (except for the fouls). First game for Memphis. Good to see he already getting playing time.
Saw someone post that he is/was torching the overall #2 pick. In tonight’s game maybe?
See I still have a problem with him entering the portal - it's like your girlfriend telling you that she just wants to be friends after two years of knockout sex....
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Perfect analogy
