So life is good for Joe Alexander, who stands to make a couple million dollars in just a few days now. Perhaps he got some investing tips on Wall Street Tuesday because Alexander rang the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. It just gets better and better and his irresistible story is impossible for anyone to ignore. I must say, Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski has the most thorough story I’ve seen thus far.

Of course, Jay Bilas would call it a “prodigous story with great readability.” 

Bilas was sold on the way Alexander finished the season and doesn’t believe it was a fluke. That he played very little as a freshman and so clearly struggled at the end of his second season shouldn’t factor into a team’s thought process.

“You’re not looking necessarily for a perfect player at his age who has shown great consistency and not had a bad night,” Bilas said. “You’re looking for a guy who’ll continue to get better. Does he have the necessities to be a really good pro? Is he athletic enough? Is he skilled enough? He’s got all that stuff. He’s got all the necessities to be a player. He’s got the intangibles, the drive to be great, the determination, the basketball I.Q., all that stuff. There’s no one area you can point to and say, ‘This indicates he’s going to be inconsistent.'” 

Seriously, here’s a 56-second clip of Bilas breaking down Alexander’s game. It’s brief, yet he manages to use the following to describe Alexander: big-time athlete, great legs, really long arms, incredible spring in those legs, can really explode off the floor, excellent shooting form, good versatility, pretty solid defender, outstanding athleticism, upside, terrific NBA player.
