There are 7-8 players who will be better than him after 14. Pass. May be with 21 but that is if we can't land a PG at 14 or via FA and trades.
 
Shane Larkin shoots as well as Steph Curry, is as good a ball handler if not better, is faster than him, and jumps high enough to get his shot off anywhere on the floor. And they're both cute as a button.
 
Shane Larkin shoots well, especially off the dribble, and he shoots fast.
But so does Jimmer.

That's a horrible comparision considering Jimmer can't jump 44 inches, is relatively slow, with poor lateral quickness. Nate Robinson would be a much better comp, but shorter and not the same ball control. Jimmer isn't really that proficient of a ball dribbler either.

I wasn't comparing them. I know it's a terrible comparison.
Just saying, to no one in particular, that shooting translates to the NBA, but does not necessarily mean success in the NBA.
 
I was warning everyone on Hassan from day 1.

I was also high in Austin Rivers.

My point? No idea.
 
Whiteside was a good prospect. He injured his knee, missed his entire rookie season and never really developed. He looked good in his first pre-season though.
