DaJuan Summers has been working diligently to improve his draft stock ever since he declared for the NBA draft. Summers worked out for the Chicago Bulls Monday, and is now in Chicago for the NBA Draft combine. He spoke to Bulls.com about what he would bring to an NBA team. You can find the audio of the interview here.

Tell us, as far as at the NBA level, how you would make the adjustment [in your game]?

Just being more versatile; playing an inside-out game. … Being able to play a one-on-one game and cause mismatches. Also being able to defend multiple positions.

How is your back to the basket game?

It’s good, that’s how I’ve been playing most of my life. But I’m able to shoot, too; it’s however the defender is playing me is what I’ll do.

I think there are more than a few Hoya fans out there wondering where that back to the basket game was when he played for Georgetown. I’m really surprised that Summers is being touted as a potential power forward in the League. He wasn’t much of a banger or even rebounder at Georgertown and he improved his three-point shooting this past season. Seems like he would be more of a small forward/wing in the pros.

Summers talks about a wider range of topics in this interview with SLAM, including a lot about his time at Georgetown.

SLAM: You were one of the first players to declare for the Draft this season. Why did you decide to announce so early?
DaJuan Summers: I wanted to let teams know I didn’t doubt my abilities as a top player in this draft. I felt we had a rough season, and I needed to get some attention back on myself in other ways. Not to mention it was best for me and family.

SLAM: What was the most memorable moment of your Georgetown career?

DS: Going to the Final Four my freshman year.

SLAM: How do you feel Coach Thompson prepared you for the NBA?

DS: He taught me what hard work was truly about. I will take that with me wherever I go.

SLAM: Tell me some of the feelings that you went through this season playing with practically all freshman and sophomores, after playing on such veteran-laden teams as you did your first two seasons?

DS: There were plenty of frustrating times. Everyone wanted to do their part to help, but it was a struggle to get everyone to realize we rise or fall together. But there were great high points this past season. It just wasn’t the outcome we wanted.

Recent reports say Summers is impressing scouts with his athleticism and that he could creep into the 20′s or even teens of the first round.

Chad Ford tossed a line in his report of the first day of the combine about Summers: “And Georgetowns DaJuan Summers also impressed people with his play.”

The Hoops Report had this to say:

DaJuan Summers is gaining a lot of momentum. A few weeks ago, it didn’t appear that Summers would be a first round pick, but now it may be almost a lock. Summers has gotten even stronger and more cut than he already was, and is looking more like a power forward. Summers is also very capable of playing small forward. His strength and versatility has caused a lot of interest by NBA teams, and he could go as high as the late teens.

Still, NBADraft.net and DraftExpress have Summers being the last pick int he first round and the first pick in the second round, respectively. Both listings were updated this week, but Summers remained in the same slots as he was a month and a half ago.
