Breaking down Childs.

Too small to play NBA center. Hasn't shown the quickness to guard modern NBA 4's. Body is soft and pudgy. Maybe he could improve his quickness by losing some weight.

Has shown some ability to shoot the 3 and can post up smaller or like-sized players.

Struggles to pass out of double teams.

Struggles to make defensive rotations, is this bad coaching or a lack of effort?

He has an outside shot of being drafted in the late second. Someone might take a chance on his consistent production. It is more likely he will be playing somewhere in Europe.

If he got into better shape and shot the ball better there would be a place for him in the league as a backup 4.

0-5% chance in my opinion.

Please come back for another year! Although I wouldn't hold it against him if he wants to make a couple hundred thousand playing professionally somewhere.
