They picked him in the third round only to watch his progress stagnate and his production to drop year over year. There's no one more patient than I when it comes to evaluating prospects, but I don't see anything there with Iverson at this point other than size (which he doesn't even use consistently).
When you fall into the third round, you're already a long shot to make it. When you fall into the third round and then stagnate or outright regress over the next few years? It does not augur well for his future chances as a pro. He could be a late bloomer for sure, but the odds are strongly against him at this point.
I was really excited when the Rangers drafted Iverson. I thought he would go a little later, but I thought it was a good pick at that spot. However, I agree with nyr2k2 that his development hasn't been strong since he was drafted. There have been some setbacks such as injuries and suspensions, as well as the fact that he's had problems breaking into what have been strong Portland teams to date, but he looks very much the same player I saw as a 17 year old.
Not going to write him off, but it's looking a bit bleak for him.
