I've watched him more than you. I study his game because myself I am a 5'10 PG and Larkin is a good shooter, below average size, and I think he will be a mid-late first-round pick this year. Larkin is the real deal, should have been the ACC Player of the Year.

sweet I was a 5'-11" center.

It's possible, but I watched damn near every single game they had.

Don't get me wrong, I love Larkin. I think he's a great college PG. To be a 5'11 PG in the NBA though...you gotta be special.

Look at Ty Lawson. Ty Lawson was freaking incredible, and I loved watching him play. Quite possibly one of the quickest guards I've seen play in a while, aka, Larkin ain't got **** on his quicks. I mean, Lawson >>> Larkin. Even Lawson got drafted in the middle/lower half of the draft. It took Lawson a while to adjust to the NBA.

Now I know that if you look at just his percentages, Larkin looks like a good shooter. He's just alright in my opinion though. Put anybody with some length on him, and he's gonna struggle. He won't be able to finish at the rim in the NBA. He's not a distributor. Simply put...he's a backup PG in the NBA.
 
Speaking of Miami players, Durand Scott is a nice little 2nd round option. Great defender, pretty decent size and he can make an open jumper.

I don't look at his percentages, just watching the games he is hitting NBA 3's over bigger guards pretty much every game. Honestly, I haven't watched much of Lawson, I know he has been tearing it up though. But to say Larkin doesn't have **** on Lawson's quicks is just plain out silly. Yes, I do realize he is only 5'11 and probably about 165 lbs, but the dude can flat out play.
