    Man, Kevin Hervey from Arlington is really shooting up draft boards after an excellent combine. He could be in play at 24 for the Blazers. 6'8" SF with over 7'3" wingspan.

    No way... 2 major knee surgery’s and shot only 34% from 3pt against crappy competition... and he is 22, so I’d expect better production at that age

    Yeah, I know the knocks on him. I was just mentioning that he's really rising fast and will likely go in the 20's.

    I really hope we don’t wast a draft pick on that scrub... I hope the pick is packaged in a trade... if not I really like Landry Shamet... I can’t get over how much he reminds me of Steph Curry in his tape... except like 2 inches taller

    I don't like Shamet at all as a prospect. He disappeared in every game I watched of the Shockers as he can be taken out by an athletic defender. Poor wingspan and horrible at defense. He's a good shooter for sure but he's gonna struggle to get his shot in the NBA.

    He has a 7’ wingspan... don’t know where you get your info... so he has potential on defense... and this team needs shooting more than defense

    He has character concerns.

    That was the same knock on Steph Curry coming out of college

    Curry was absolutely dominant in college. He averaged 28.6 points per game. Shamet averaged 14.9. He's not anywhere near the player Curry is.

    True but Shamet played only 2 years, and in a much tougher conference... also was more of a true point gaurd

    Curry was a better ball handler, shooter, and athlete.

    Just sayin, I’ve never seen a player that reminds me of Steph Curry more than this... just the way he moves with and without the ball and his quick release... very smooth

    Huh??????

    Landry played 3 years, he just didn't really play much his freshman year (injury?). I know assists aren't everything but Shamet averaged 5.2 assists this year while Curry averaged 5.6 assists in his final year.

    Some mock drafts have him in the 2nd round. I thought it was pointless to talk about 2nd round picks?

    Kevin Huerter has been rising up the draft tables. It’s not yet confirmed he will enter this years draft (I think he won’t) but he seems to have a nice skill set.
