Kentucky freshman Tyler Herro has gotten some late first round buzz in recent weeks, and could be a steal for a team like Brooklyn in the second round. Herro is one of the best shooters in this draft, but my big worry with his is defensively. Overall, he should be a solid pro in the NBA.
Nicolas Claxton has caught the eye of many NBA front offices’ during the pre-draft process. The sophomore from Georgia is NBA ready defensively, and has shown that he has potential to become a stretch big in the league. Phoenix would be a great landing spot for him.
Jalen Lecque, who skilled college and decided to go right into the NBA, may be the best athlete in this draft. He has insane leaping ability and is extremely quick. He’s raw, and will be a major project, but the upside is clearly evident. Don’t be surprised if is a riser come draft night.
