I've just been checking the profile and some videos on this kid, and I'm kind of curious; what makes Shane Larkin more of a sure-fire prospect than Pressey?

DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

I'm thinking Larkin's 47.9 FG%, including 40.6% on threes in 2012-2013, compared with Pressey's 37.6%/32.4% has something to do with it.

Look good on Utube; but...
Consistency. Size. Turnovers.

Pressey scores 85 on nbadraftnet
Not seen as an NBA prospect; but I think he could make it.

Larkin Scores 90
and is constantly being compared with top point guards in the draft.

Draftexpress also said that Pressey was the #1 ranked most turnover prone prospect amongst their top 100 prospect in their database. Loads of turnovers + highly inefficient scoring. Inability to finish inside or shoot off the dribble. Undersized PG with suspect defensive value.

Sounds like a keeper.

I would like to see both of them on the c's roster but I would still pry Dennis scheoder from ATL along with j-smoove  if he decided to come here with no rondo
