Poor guy. The NBA teams are horrible drafting players they can stash so they don't have to pay, I hate the owners they are scumbags. And please no propaganda about how players should have to stay in school 2 years, he did what he had to do. College players should be able to profit off their name and should be paid!

Alexander will make it onto somebody's roster, or he'll go overseas for a year or two and try again.

The Celts have a more athletic, shot-blocking version of Alexander in Jordan Mickey.  Trouble for a guy like Alexander is that his skill / physical profile is not exactly in demand these days.  If you're a PF you need to be able to switch on defense and dominate the boards, or else have the ability to hit outside jumpers and attack a closeout. 

He's in the same boat as Thomas Robinson -- talented, but he came into the league at the wrong time and is drastically undervalued as a result.

you nailed it.  At 6'8 (pf) you have to be outstanding in something or else have little chance to make a roster. Alexandre proved last season he does not excel in anything. Glimpse of being good at rebounding, shot blocking etc.  but thats it

He really needed to stay another year in School but got kicked out.  He will have to play out of his mind in the summer league to make into a roster somewhere
