You're probably right, but he'll be turning 23 in September and is not a primary initiator. I think there's a chance he falls within the HOU pick range.

I still think our PG is the prospect to watch from Syracuse though. Not ready to say he's going to be a good one yet but I absolutely love his passing, defense, and poise for a freshman.

He's one helluva college player. Don't know if he's got the strength and athleticism for the NBA.

On the other hand, I'd take Richmond if he comes out. Lots to like about him as a pro prospect. (I think this is who machu was talking about in the below the video part.)

Correct, really excited to see how he develops.

The Richmond from Syracuse? Interesting player, but he needs to learn to shoot. Hopefully he stays in school.

Miles McBride | PG | West Virginia
Top 100 ranking: 35
West Virginia was upset in the second round by No. 11 Syracuse, but McBride had a good weekend overall, scoring 41 points on 27 field goal attempts while dishing out 13 assists compared with 4 turnovers.
Somewhat sped up and out of control early in the season, McBride showed improved decision-making in Big 12 play and made the right, unselfish reads against Syracuse's 2-3 zone. He shot the ball very well in the NCAA tournament (6-for-9 from 3) like he has all season long (41% 3-point FG, 81% FT). He played his typical outstanding one-on-one defense, disrupting passing lanes, heating up ball handlers in the backcourt and generating plenty of turnovers with six steals.
McBride still leaves something to be desired as a shot-creator inside the arc. He isn't the most advanced ball handler and relies heavily on his pull-up jumper, but he will likely be better with more talent around him in a smaller role. There's a market for aggressive combo guards in his mold who can hound the opposing team's best player, make an outside shot and disrupt the game with the energy he brings off the bench.
Only a sophomore, McBride has a big decision in front of him. He has room to improve his offensive polish, but he has made a strong case to hear his name called on draft night if he decides to enter and keep his name in. He could possibly get into the late first round, depending on how his pre-draft process goes.

emunney wrote:Deuce is one of my favorites for us, for sure. Agree with Givony that he's not the most polished skill wise, but he's got touch shooting the ball from a standstill and that's the building block I look for with young guys. Plays an unselfish game and really gets after the ballhandler defensively, strong and determined with quick hands. His pull up looked very good in the tourney and I think he's a high pick and roll guy in the future if he continues to develop.
