Anyone watched this guy much?  Seems like drafting a 2 guard who can start as a rookie would be sweet. Scouted as being a very good two way player.  Given the likelihood our 1st pick will likely fall in the 5-10 range, may be someone to start discussing more.

He looks like a good 2 way shooting guard, although a bit short for the position. I dont think he is quite worth a top 10 pick. I think he should be in the 11-18 range on the Celtics board.

Other late lotto wings i like better than him: Zach lavine, Rodney Hood and Doug McDermott. But i think a person could make a case for any of those 4.

he just knocked in 3 smooth 3 point shots vs. Purdue on ESPN moments after I posed.  His stock is climbing as we speak.  I like him more than Smart. I think Danny does too.  This kid is a shooter. Smart isn't. I know Smart is supposed to play PG, but doubt he will in the NBA.  This kid is silky smooth.  Kind of reminds me of Ray Allen, has a very quick release.  About the same size, I think Ray is an inch taller.  This kid a better defender than Ray.

all i can say is streaky at best.  He tries hard but he will have games where he goes 5-17, 6-18 and the team loses.

He is a good shooter once he sets his feet and able to drive and finish for layups but what he really needs to take his game to another level is to master a mid range game.  He is just not very good at driving, stopping and shooting.

Someone will reach for him in the teens but its a risky pick imo.

Mr October....I still don't understand the infatuation with Zach Lavine....have seen parts of maybe eight UCLA games and still don't see why the pundits rate him so high

Thanks, I'll check those guys out.  McDermott I worry about in the NBA, feels like another Wally Szerbiak or Kyle Korver, although in fairness I have not seen him play, other than in video high lights, which are not worth much.  I see McDermott projecting as a guy off the bench.  Harris just looks like could be a starter, at least tonight.

He reminds me of Gerald green, in a good way and bad way. He has speed, hops, a silky smooth shot. But his decision making is a work in progress. He would be a gamble on a raw player. Admittedly he keeps sliding down my board. When i first saw him i thought he was top 10. Now I'd say he is more like a mid teens pick.

If he slides into Danny's lap around pick 18, i would like to see what brad Stevens (and rondo) can do with him.
