Inside the NBA draft — Shooters

Jaycee Carroll, Utah State's leading scorer and a top-notch shooter, could go in the second round. But he didn't have a great Portsmouth pre-draft camp, and wasn't invited to the higher-profile Orlando pre-draft camp. So he may have to make it as a free agent.
Carroll is pitching himself as a designated shooter who can learn to play some point, so he should get at least a summer-league look. He's worked out for the Jazz twice, once before deciding to return to Utah State last year and once this month, and for several other teams.

FANTASY PICK

Georgetown small forward and second-round hopeful Patrick Ewing Jr. has a major growth spurt (even at age 24) from the 6-foot-7ish range to 7-foot-plus, he puts on a ton of pounds and he turns into something even better than his old man — minus the excessive sweat.
