The part that none of us have access to pre-draft is the interviewing process and getting the feel for him as a person. How could 20 teams walk away from an interview with him and not, at minimum, like him? I think the 3FG% scared teams way too much.
His numbers were not great at Kentucky particularly his 3pt shooting. That being said Kentucky players almost always pan out and frequently exceed pro projections. See Maxey and Bam as prime examples. Murray and SGA and Herro as well to a lesser degree since they are all lottery picks but Murray and SGA turned out better then many new numbers ones over the years.
