It’s interesting that Julian didn’t get much respect after opting for the draft and then , not being drafted at all .
Signing a 2 Way that has turned into full bore NBA status .
Good for him and boo to the naysayers .

He’s shown he has NBA game .

Don’t underestimate the critical importance of willing to put in the time and effort needed to make the NBA if you aren’t a lottery type player. The reason guys like Brunson, Josh Hart, Julian etc. make it is not because of pure talent it is because of time, effort and sweat. Not everyone is willing to go there.

Absolutely true. It is not simply raw talent.

Lu Dort not drafted after huge promises by his former agent. Work, work, work, now first team NBA defensive last season. With an NBA championship ring to boot.
Undersized, started to play very late but à crazy work ethic.
