Agreed.
And that's exactly why it will be the wrong pick.
We don't need more solid safe players, we need game changers with real upside.

Do you think a game changer will be on the board that late in the draft?

Has a true 2-way PGs game. Better onball shooting than offball (I believe he was around the 80th percentile in pull-up 3pt shooting), but was forced into more of an off-ball role to defer to smaller more experienced guards that need the ball to be effective (Mark Sears and Aden Holloway). Despite adjusting to more of an off-ball role, he still provided consistent clear impact on the court--12th among freshman in all of college bball in BPM this past season. Boasted a 36.7 defensive field goal percentage on the season.
Steady floor with underrated upside. He's just skinny as hell (built like Dejounte Murray)

He might be the hidden Maxey of the draft. I’m excited for the 20th pick. Plenty of quality options that you can validate as bpa at the weakest spot on our roster that should be there.

Proctor shot 40% from 3 last season on 5.8 attempts. I see the criticism is his strength which is something that can easily be fixed. Much of the scouting reports is that his IQ is high. 6'4.25 without shoes. 6'7.25 wingspan, 183 lbs
Perimeter scoring: Improved in all three years of his college career, going from a shaky shooter as a freshman to a solid one as a sophomore to a good one as a junior. His improvement was consistent both off the catch and off the dribble too. As a junior, Synergy shows he shot 37.2% on catch-and-shoot 3s, 40.5% on dribble-jumper 3s, and 52.9% on pull-up 2s. While he isn’t a knockdown guy off catch-and-shoot attempts, and he’s not a savant creator, he’s serviceable.
Defense: Long-armed defender who plays with heart, effort, and IQ both on and off the ball.

Strengths
Pick-and-Roll Mastery: Reads defenses well, making smart decisions in ball-screen situations.
Versatility: Can play on or off the ball and guard multiple positions.
Under Control: Plays at his own pace and rarely forces plays.
High Basketball IQ: He makes the right reads and shows maturity beyond his years.
Concerns
Physical Strength: Needs to add muscle to compete against stronger, more physical defenders.
Finishing at the Rim: Struggles to finish through contact, limiting his scoring inside.
Defensive Physicality: He can get overpowered by stronger guards, which affects his ability to contain matchups.
Questions
Can he add enough muscle to handle stronger NBA guards defensively?
Will he develop into a more consistent finisher through contact?
Can he maintain his poise and playmaking under pressure from more physical defenders?
Bottom Line
Tyrese Proctor is a smart, composed guard with size, playmaking instincts, and defensive versatility. His ability to run an offense and make good decisions makes him an appealing prospect. However, his physical strength and finishing ability will be key factors in determining his NBA ceiling. If he can develop his body and expand his scoring ability, Proctor has the tools to be a valuable two-way guard at the next level.
