This kid can play! Been hyping him here since before college as one of my favorite 4star recruits, i'd credit the assist to team usa tho. Knew he was 6'7 with a legit vertical.
Been saying he's a better prospect than Nik Stauskas. He's a match with the backcourt too imo he has combo skills and is viable at guard next to Mitchell

I don't think so, he was named the MVP of Euroleague tho.
The finals are tomorrow.

Sacramento wouldn't do it, but would anyone here swap the pick for Harry Giles? In a system like Utah's his passing would really shine.

I think I would rather sign Joe Harris in the off season then draft Huerter

Kevin Hervey | SF | UT-Arlington
The 21-year-old senior turned in an excellent couple of days, measuring impressively, posting the third-best PER with per 40-minute averages of 26.0 points and 2.6 steals while knocking down 6 of 10 triples. At 6-7¾ in shoes, 212 pounds with a 7-3½ wingspan and 8-11 standing reach, Hervey has a similar physical profile to Robert Covington, a player who was also seen as a bit soft coming out of college (like Hervey). Hervey's smooth shooting stroke was on display, knocking down rhythm 3s while also showing his talent operating in the midpost.
His ability to space the floor isn't a question mark -- it's more his decision-making, lack of pop around the rim and inconsistent effort and grit on the defensive end. He wasn't able to move smalls in the post after switches and was either caught flat-footed or biting on shot fakes on the other end of the floor. With that said, Hervey is a borderline first-round pick from a tools and talent perspective. The biggest question surrounding him is his health, as he tore his right ACL the summer going into his senior year of high school and his left ACL during his sophomore season of college. Pending medical red flags, Hervey has a chance to develop into a second-round sleeper type, as we outlined early on in the college season.
Melvin Frazier | SG/SF | Tulane
The long-armed, explosive Frazier showed teams exactly what he needed to in one game before pulling out of 5-on-5 play before the second day, likely feeling comfortable enough with his stock to shut it down. Frazier held true to what we predicted when we profiled him in February: "Once he posts official measurements, goes through athletic testing and shows his motor in 5-on-5 play, it's easy to see scouts falling in love with what he brings to the table."
At 6-6 with a 7-2 wingspan and a 40-inch vertical, Frazier -- who compares to Josh Howard physically -- changed the game with his boundless energy, defensive anticipation and open-court explosiveness. Frazier wreaked havoc in the passing lanes while also knocking down a pull-up 3 and finishing off a left-handed drive to the rim over length. He has some untapped playmaking and ballhandling ability that could manifest over time, should he land in the right situation. As was the case all season, though, Frazier's shooting remains erratic, as does his decision-making, and he clearly needs to polish his game before an NBA team can rely on him regularly. He also didn't wow teams throughout the interview process. But overall Frazier helped himself in Chicago and has a chance to hear his name called in the back end of the first round come June.

An excellent, if long, analysis of 3 & D wings in the draft:

Theres some funny outlier type stats on Joe Harris from this season. Something where he was scoring at an elite rate on per possession, and all the others at the top of the list were big names. Harris is a swingman tho, Huerter's a pure SG with combo skills.

He looks quite spry in all practice footage and gets absolute rave reviews from all the coaches/teammates. He runs really fast for sure.

So you're saying he lacks a make-or-break hair do?
Thanks for posting. Huerter has a nice combination of size, athleticism, shooting and passing for a wing. He's not explosive going to the rim, but looks like a nice player. His shooting is his calling card, but he does enough other good things to not get held back.
