Dellavedova invited to Nets combine

From draftexpress.com:

2013 Nets Combine Recap

Matthew Dellavedova, St. Mary's – Dellavedova did a good job making up for lost time after electing to skip the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and seeing that decision backfire after not being invited to the NBA Combine in Chicago last week. He ran his team very effectively in New Jersey, showing strong ball-handling skills, timing and court vision on the pick and roll, and the ability to make jump-shots off the dribble when defenses went underneath screens. Dellavedova measured a solid 6-3 without shoes, but sports just a 6-4 wingspan, which hampers him primarily on the defensive end, an area he struggled in both in college and in this setting. His unselfishness and high basketball IQ could nevertheless convince a team to use a NBA roster spot on him as he appears to be more than talented enough to hold his own on the offensive end of the floor at either guard spot. He also looks willing to, at the very least, put the effort in defensively to not embarrass himself.

From nbadraft.net

Dellavedova wound up being one of a few guys who left a very large impression on Wednesday thanks to his halfcourt play, specifically in the pick-and-roll and his decision making once the screen came. Council, though, more than held his own, leaving his own impression that some of his attributes would translate well to the NBA game, while others could still use some fine-tuning.

“He played very smart and he has an NBA handle, NBA passing ability,” a veteran NBA scout who was in the building told SNY.tv. “If you look at his percentages, his perimeter shooting leaves a lot to be desired, but he took it all in and played very well and very intelligently today.”

"Matthew Dellavedova had some trouble in the first couple of minutes, but settled down and finished as the best guard on the court in the second workout, commanding his team. He had a stretch where he hit back-to-back threes and burned Vincent Council on a back-door cut for an easy layup. At 6’4″, Dellavedova has solid size for a guard, but he doesn’t have great speed to keep up with the likes of pros. An Australian, Dellavedova was one of the few international products on hand."

Best athlete often ends up as the project fail that never delivers...
