That didn’t happen. Then the dust settles and he stuck with the team and embraced the role. He was the sixth man and he was the best player on the team."

NBA Draft analysis: Will a team give Kris Joseph a shot? | syracuse.com
"Kris is an acquired taste," the Western Conference assistant GM said. "He’s a guy that can play a couple positions. A guy that can handle the ball. A guy that can score. He can give you a little bit of everything. Versatility’s the first word that comes to mind when you think about Kris."
"When it first happened, he was kind of emotional because it was so close to the draft," said Antonio Jardine, Scoop’s father. "You know a kid’s dream is to have his name called. But if he is not, there is another step and he knows what he has to do."

Dion’s stock has been rising in recent weeks, and it’s been reported that he may have gotten a guarantee from a team picking in the lottery. Toronto and Phoenix would be delighted if he was to fall to them, but I have a feeling the Warriors are going to snag him with this pick. He has a remarkably high ceiling and has proven to have the ability to score at will. Pairing him with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson could provide Golden State with an explosive, talented backcourt that could cause problems for many years to come. I think the Bay Area is a great fit for Dion, who could prove to be one of the best to make the jump from Syracuse to the NBA.
