If he's Goran that's insane value at 20

Looks like a Tito

WCJ gives me non Tito vibes

career comparisons are gonna be interesting


Why though? It's not like WCJ was available at 20 and we picked this guy instead.


The very limited footage I’ve seen from him and my ever fallible prospect analysis leads me to believe that he won’t be able to handle pressure defenders

Herro's defense is what it is, but he'd be so much better on offense against good teams with an actual playmaking PG. It unlocks so much of the offense when players are in their proper roles.

I saw where he shot around 40% from 3s before he got hurt around the beginning of the year. His numbers dipped all around as he played through injury

NBA draft is funny...

"New Orleans not letting Queen get passed 7" ... Queen falls to 13 and NO gets him

"Atlanta not letting Asa get passed 13" .... Atlanta trades down to 23 and takes him

If he's even half the player Goran was at pick 20, then he's definitely a steal.
