ROUND

Positives:
Archibald has the low-post skills to score around the basket and has decent
range. He's physical for a European and he doesn't mind getting around the
basket for boards. He's not a bad defender, either. He knows the game and is
still a sponge trying to absorb new aspects to his game.
Negatives: Quickness can be an issue for Archibald, but he could be a
spot player and be successful. He relished his reserve role for Illinois.
Archibald intrigues a number of NBA teams in the second round. He could be a
find and a player who lasts.
Summary: Archibald could be a second-round pick and make Scotland proud.
He could also go about the hard way and get to the NBA through the summer league
as a free agent. He should be on an NBA roster next season.
