When the draft rolls around, cooler heads will prevail and Gary Trent will get drafted ahead of Divincenzo, imo.
Huerter, however, could rise if he stays in.

I like Donte much more. I think he’s a good defender and does well enough as a ball handler to make him more than just a shooter. I’m also the president of the Donte fan club.

He's got a nice first step and he can handle ball well enough to attack closeouts, he's got good instincts for cutting to the rim too, even will throw down some nasty putback dunks and is a fiesty defender, he's' a 'tough east coast guard', which is kinda a nova specialty.

He's a former PG that grew to 6'7. He's more of a combo guard than a swingman, he gets impressive blocks and has nice hops though. Ultimately they will list him as a pure SG.

Yeah i've been comparing the red rocket favorably to stauskas here for years.
Huerter's another kid Team USA endorsed yeas back even though he was ranked like 70th in the class(4stars). I remember an article that had some of the coaches saying something to the effect of that they thought the best player to run their offense thru was Huerter.
His shot is crazy accurate and hye's got nba rangeand then some. He's got great 'game sense' too.

Despite the talent Maryland basketbally was agonizing to watch this past season, ask any of their fans i bet they either are super casual or hate the team..... Their coach is a disgrace to the profession and an end game scenario blunder machine.
Huerter deserved much better, minnesota, syracuse and osu were BRUTAL losses. They have a very nice recruiting class incomikn, if Huerter and to a lesser extent Bruno Fernando return they're loaded and have their best team since juan dixon led em to the chip.
I was vehement he was NBA ready and worthy of being selected in the first as a one-and-done in last years draft fwiw.

I like Huerter. I think the more shooters we add the better.
For that reason I’d love to get another late first rounder and get Spellman. He’s a tough rebounder and greater shooter as a big. The more shooters we can put out there the better.

Yeah and my confusion around comps to Stauskas. Huerter looks to be an entirely diff player than him.
Stauskas couldn’t defend and didn’t have an NBA body, IIRC.
Any guys you think that are underrated that could be there at 21?
He does not
My heart weeps.

I never really followed Tony for the Jazz draft. Is he usually pretty accurate with his predictions or insider knowledge? He seems to be for the Jazz as a whole, so I assume he is for the draft as well. Gotta wait for Locke to do his draft vids, that dude says way too much lol. Made videos gushing over Burks in 2011, Gobert in 2013, Lyles in 2015, said he didn't like anyone in 2016 and we ended up trading out, and loved Mitchell last year. In 2014 he gushed over Aaron Gordon, so I'm convinced we were gonna draft him if he was available.
Then the year DL threatened to fire anyone who talked about Mitchell he didnt talk about the draft that much.
