Didn't see one if there is one please delete.
About a month ago Sir Dom was the 52nd pick on nbadraftNet. No clue how he didn't invited to the Pit with Harrison. I like him to a Poor man's Tony Allen. Definitely worth a late 2nd round pick and still has upside even thoug he is a four year player.
He already HD a workout today with the Boston Celtics a team who loves to draft Swing men.

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics announced they hosted six players for a pre-draft workout Wednesday, including Maryland's All-Big Ten guard Dez Wells.
The full list of players in the workout follows:
Aaron Thomas - FSU
Anthony Brown - Stanford
Dez Wells - Maryland
Malcolm Miller - Holy Cross
Julian Washburn - UTEP
Sir'Dominic Pointer - St. John's (NY)
-
I def think Dom has a legit shot.
-
Sir Dom learning under brad stevens would be a great development for him. And you are right he is exactly the type of guy ainge likes to bring in.

Previous staff didn't do this kid any favors. I do think he is athletic enough to get a look

I think they did do him a favor last year by asking him to play out of position. He proved to everyone that he could guard guys that had height and strength. I had no idea that he was even capable. He went from a college ball bust to an NBA player. Drafted or not, he'll play in the league.

He played out if position because there was noone else. He was underutilized the 3 previous years

Dom has been a NBA prospect since day 1, the potential was realized over the past year. His junior year held him back bc the ball never found him. This year he really applied himself w the system and he shined bc of it. Shout out to Lavs and Rico, I think he'll be in the league next year alongside Moe and JaKarr.

Agree . He had a poor career here and didn't improve At all.
-
I think Dom has a very small chance of making the NBA. But I would not want to one of the 5 others he is competing against in the workout. Dom is kill these guys.
-
Last I checked on Chad Ford's list on ESPN, he was the highest ranked Big East prospect. Ranked in the 70s. He def has a shot to make the league. He has shown he can do most things well on the court with the exception of shooting 3s. However, I read the other day that FT shooting in college, not 3 point shooting, is a better indication of a player's ability to improve his shot. Dom was a pretty good FT shooter last year so in time, I think he can develop his jumper.
-
Who wouldn't want to draft a guy who is very athletic, can get to the hoop, doesn't play selfish, can guard guys bigger than him and yet is able to find an open man better than some point guards?
-

Why do you think he has a small chance of making the league?

Why do you think he has a small chance of making the league?
Because he's the size of a 2 or 3 and he's not a good outside shooter.

I love Dom. But he cant dribble or shoot. Not sure how big he is but he listed at 6'6 barely 200 pounds. Wish him well. Hope he proves me wrong.
-
I don't think Dom gets drafted...but similar to JaKarr he will be given a chance as an undrafted FA and it wouldn't surprise me if he made a roster!!
-

Poor career? Weak first 3 years but he killed it last season. He's a guy who will probably make it as an underdrafted free agent and stick on a roster because if his athleticism and ability to defend 5 positions

I was being sarcastic . Dom is one of my favorite players ever. Was annoyed he was taking a shot at previous coach.

He excelled at the 4. He didn't play the 4 his first three years because of guys named Harkless and Sampson. You think he should have gotten more minutes over those guys?
Dom was a terrible outside shooter for most of his career.

Wish him the best of luck. Hope he makes it.
Stop blaming Lavin for everything under the sun. It reeks of an agenda. He's gone. Move on

Dom got plenty of time as a frosh and soph. Some guys develop differently. Dom looked terrible out there last year many times. Its not all on Lavin here. Credit to Dom for making himself significantly better and Lavin to aiding him in doing so.

He ain't playing the 4 in the league and he wasn't a true 4 for us at least on offense.

Right now? No.
Just because someone is higher ranked or has more talent doesnt mean they deserve more time. He couldnt play 4 because the only TWO nba players Lavin produced here (so far) played the 4. So its not like Lavin had him behind someone worse. We all know Dom was much worse as a 3 as a junior and younger.

Dom wasn't a very good player his first few years. In fact, as a junior he was terrible. You wanna blame the staff for that fine, then give them credit for his great sr season.
He was playing out of position early on in his career, reason being, there was NBA talent ahead of him playing point forward. Mo, the Jakarr.
Point his, he had a great senior season and positioned himself to possibly get drafted, yet in this thread, like all others, you find need to take a shot a former coach. Unnecessary and petty.

"Positioned himself" . My point exactly
-
I agree that Lavs deserves a good amount of credit towards the development of Dom within his schemes, but don't forget about Rico, who developed each of these 2015 seniors and CO incrementally to the point where they achieved notable success last year.

Good for Dom that he's getting some looks from the GMs. For his sake, I hope some team drafts him and lets him develop.
Stranger things have happened than a kid with out of this world athleticism, and good hustle, making it as a pro athlete.

Lets keep this positive! Dom was awesome this year and is getting some NBA looks and may possibly get drafted in the 2nd round. This is all good stuff. The thread is about Doms NBA prospects, lets keep it that way.
-

Don't even mention Dom in the same comment as that quitter--Dom never quit in 4 years

Hard work pays! Go Dom. Good Luck! ;)

I think he didn't play his first 3 years because he simply wasn't playing well. Harkless was a polished power forward, who was so polished that he could actually play the 5 and the 3 as well as a freshman. Pointer didn't have a position at that time.
Sampson had an awkward 10 footer, but he did hot that shot w consistency.
That said, as a senior, Dom was better than both of them. I think it will be interesting to see where Dom is playing pro ball next season. I could see a team like GSW liking the idea of a second pick who dedicated to defense. It's not a popular role, but some teams still value defense.
-

Pretty pathetic troll bait here. You're better than this Baldi.
-
I think Dom is and was better than Sampson
-
I bet he develops a real jump shot. He is not that far off now.
-
Dom is one of those few guys I hope gets drafted by a good team. I think his true skills come will out if he's surrounded by better guys. If he puts in the time with that corner 3, the sky is the limit.

Pointer was not better then Sampson while at SJU

Just my opinion. Sampson led them to NIT( and got lit up) on a more talented team. Dom was the best player on a 6 man deep team and hustled his ass off to get them a bid

Perhaps Sampson was also used improperly here, Baldi.
Dom never looked as good on the court with Sampson or in place of them when they were together. Thats on Dom moreso than Lav. Some guys develop more slowly.

Dom from the 14-15 season? Every time.
-
If I'm Pointer (or anyone), I'm not sure I want to be drafted that late.
If he just misses out, he'll get an invite to camp from a lot of teams. Then, he can sit back, assess everything, and decide on which situation is best for him. He can see where he likely will get the most playing time, and go from there (if that is his #1 priority). Look at what not getting drafted did for Sampson this year. The ultimate tanking team called, and he got more exposure then he ever could have, if he had gotten drafted by a contending team.
Odds are, that a late second round pick will belong to a good team (though they are often traded away). Then, Dom becomes locked into going to that team's camps, and if it's a team that's kept their pick, he would have virtually no shot to get on the opening night roster. Then, it's "hello Europe." Nothing wrong with that, but I'm sure Dom wants to play in the NBA. If he does, he should probably hope he doesn't get drafted.

http://zagsblog.com/articles/sirdominic-pointer-reflects-on-steve-lavin-needs-to-improve-shooting-ahead-of-nba-draft/
If Pointer hopes to make his mark at the next level, he will need to find a way to improve his perimeter game.
“I don’t know if he needs to get a 3-point shot, but he needs to make an open shot,” Nets Director of Player Personnel Gregg Polinsky said. “I think making an 18-20-footer for him is fine. What you don’t want to do, and what you saw a little bit at times during the playoffs, is when a team senses they can’t shoot, it’s 4-on-5.
“You don’t want that guy to be a liability. You want him to figure out a way to make an open shot, or you’re running enough motion that he’ll be able to find a way to get in and slash at the rim.”
-
I think Dom is and was better than Sampson
Pointer was not better then Sampson while at SJU
Pointer played both ends of the floor (sometimes dominant defensively) while Sampson was completely lost on defense. The only game Sampson played defense was against Creighton at home last year
-
My guess is that Dom will be drafted somewhere after early second round. Not sure if that means Mid-early to late, but I think he will be... Good overall player...
-
http://www.basketballinsiders.com/2015-nba-mock-draft-consensus-ver-7-0/
St. John’s senior Sir’Dominic Pointer is also drawing rave reviews in workouts. While he’s a long shot in the first round, there is a growing sense that he may be in the mix between 30 and 41, with 41 to the Brooklyn Nets being a potential floor. Sir’Dominic is drawing comparisons to Memphis guard Tony Allen as a lockdown perimeter defender and has been asked back by a number of teams to work out against higher level talent in part to showcases his defense against them, but also to get a second look at a player teams may not have initially considered an option with their pick.
-

Sampson wasn't in Dom's class if we're talking last year's Dom.
-
Agreed. If Dom ever gets a reasonable 15-18 footer he would be a solid pro. Great D, quick.
-
I thought he was actually pretty consistent knocking down 15 footers, just had no three point game, I guess the stats might prove me wrong. Would love to have him on the Nets, would be great being able to follow his progression, because I think he's a guy that could be a solid defensive stopper in the nba
-
Dom must be a bitch to play against in these workouts. I always felt he had all the needed skills on defense but sometimes too aggressive and handsy but in these settings I bet a lot gets let go and he's a total menace.

Im sure he is a complete pain in the ass. If his jumper gets to average he will play NBA. In college he was weak from the perimeter while barely being guarded
-
Knew Dom was gonna kill it in these workouts.
-
Dom is an NBA player. From what I saw this past season, there is no doubt in my mind. Whatever team drafts him is a lucky one.
-
Agreed. If Dom ever gets a reasonable 15-18 footer he would be a solid pro. Great D, quick.
His jumper improved throughout the season. It could improve even more.

His jumper is looking good.

+1 . He is going to get drafted.
-
Wow. I didn't expect to see him hitting shots in those scrimmage like situations. If he's been doing that often he's definitely going to get drafted. A little odd they had him listed as a center though.
-
He had to be working with Mullin before he left, how can a jumpshot improve that much in a 2 month span. And the confidence lol, looks like a different player.

His shooting stroke looks much cleaner. It looks like he has cleaned up the hitch that he had in his shot. If he becomes even an average shooter he will be able to be an effective NBA player.
-
Seems like most of these kids work so much harder on their games when the prospect of making money looms a short distance away.
-
I'm sure he's been working with Mullin. His shooting def looks so much cleaner. Sir'Dom def getting drafted. He's such a versatile player and good athlete. Now that his jumper getting better, I can't see how teams don't love a guy that can play so many spots like he can. He's on,y getting better. He will get drafted.
-
Would love to see him sneak into the first round.
-
saw the Hornets video. Form is improved, more arc.....if he can do it under pressure he will be fine
-
I'd bet anything he's been the best player on the floor in his workouts/scrimmages. Zero doubt in my mind he's a NBA player/ future starter,
Has Draymond Green type potential (smaller/quicker).

This is the Dom we know, hopefully the Lakers don't hold these bricks too much against him.

for guys that are likely not to get drafted, teams look at potential. and i think Dom has tons. his shooting form has improved drastically since we last saw him in march. it proves his commitment to work and get better. i'm confident Dom will be on an opening day roster.

Love the kid, but I can't see him getting drafted.
Maybe that is best? He will get a FA invite to a team that suits him potentially.
-
Pointer drafted by the Cavaliers with the 53rd pick!
-
Congrats! Keep up the hard work
-
WOW! Amazing! Can't wait to see him and LeBron share the floor.

Already showing more hustle than anyone on the floor. Love it.

Cavs win and Dom has big game. 13 points 5/6 from the floor, 3/3 from line. Hit shot with 1 second left to send to OT.
-
Watched the entire game, finally showed his Domness. Even though the Cavs coach rotated him in and out very weirdly.
