Not very athletic mid major undersized 2 guard. Career will most likely mirror Jimmer.

His numbers and highlight reels look incredibly impressive. I have no idea why he's so low on draft boards. He shoots it off the dribble incredibly well which is very rare, he's shot >43% from 3 in 3 seasons in a row on a ridiculous number of shots(9.3 per game last season). His numbers are very close to Curry in college(and he wasn't in a big college either). (I haven't watched full games so all I'm doing is stat matching and watching highlight reel). He looks really crafty and skillful and I wouldn't say his athleticism or size are Jimmer level really, seems much more bouncy and quick, also... he's listed at 6'4''...

Anybody knows what's the knock on him and why is he not projected higher? Defense? I wonder how he'd measure in the combine. If he's indeed 6'4'' with a good length and nice athleticism I feel like we can take a flyer on him with our first second rounder or even trade up our second rounder to go and get him.

Little older... Will basically be 22 at time of draft. Small school crappy competition. Undersized for a 2 guard and a defensive liability. But....

If you can shoot like that you have a chance... In the second round go ahead and take a swing. Chad ford had a question in his chat today about him. Thinks some scouts haven't watched him enough or caught him on bad nights.

The thing is he's listed at 6'4''... it's a bit lower than ideal, but I wouldn't say it's massively undersized.

Yeah it will depend on wingspan standing reach... He is in the range where you would call him a combo guard
 
Not only would Looney supply us with a stretch 4, but also someone who can defend stretch 4s. I definitely think he would be an important cog that we currently seem void of. Booker kind of does those things, but not to the degree that I expect Looney to.

Portis looks pretty solid defensively on the perimeter too in his DX video.

That's why he makes sense to me. Just don't try and make him a 3 and D wing. I know some think that is where he should go.

That's a good point... I kind of feel like with Tomic not being an option, we might be looking at getting a center, rather than stretch 4, though... Booker is actually surprisingly good at guarding stretch 4 types. I had the defensive shot chart and he seems to be doing a great job defending anywhere on the court, including up to the 3p line.

Yah, he's a solid defender, but not a great rim protector. I really like Portis... his NCAA tournament did him no favors and he might have dropped a bit in scouts' eyes, but I still like him. I love his motor and competitive spirit on the defensive end and his shot is good enough to stretch the floor for a NBA team.

He is more Seth than Steph.
