PJ Haggerty Has Celtics Draft Workout

[slightly biased bias fan]

Apparently former Memphis Tigers guard PJ Haggerty has a draft workout planned today with the Celtics.

With a return to Memphis likely out, Haggerty weighs his options as NC State and Ole Miss being the frontrunners for his services. Texas was also on the list but seems to have dropped off. On the NBA front, Haggerty has a visit scheduled for Friday with the Boston Celtics.

Goodman reported the star guard could go in the mid-second round at this point, but also could wind up going undrafted.

Haggerty started his college career at TCU and Tulsa before a career-year at Memphis. The AAC Player of the Year averaged 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals for the Tigers.

Oweh is an interesting prospect he was listed at 6'4 (assumed to be his in shoes height) at UK but actually measured 6'4.25 (without shoes) at the combine. I don't review him as a Holiday/White archetype but I see him as more of the Josh Hart/Lou Dort/Javonte Green small but strong wing type. Like many prospects his 3pt shot is his swing skill over his college career he is a 36% 3pt shooter but that is on a low volume. He also is a pedestrian 71% from the line however that number did jump to 77% so that could be a good sign. His outlier stat is actually the amount that he dunks the ball for a smaller wing. In 32 games he had 47 dunks to lead all sub 6'6 players compare that Flagg had 36 dunks in 37 games. 

His combination of playoff positional value and his physical profile makes him a solid option (though likely a perceived reach) at #32.
