It's a shame he is not getting enough minutes, particularly in Euroleague.

Sleeper.

Ssshhhhh…..Let him sleep.

(Kings have an early 2nd rounder and this dude is perfect for it).

The minutes are wrong though, he played more than 12 minutes.

this guy could be top 10 talent - doesn't have speed but he has good pace moves kind of like keaton wagler who doesn't have speed either

might be most fluid guy with ball in draft. A more fluid kasparas jakucionis

really good shooter on or off - like a haliburton/jose calderon combination

[sisibilio]

He's a better prospect than Demin IMO, who was 8th last year.

[BlazersBroncos]

He has middle teens value and I 100% expect his name to be called earlier than he has been projected in the process.

While De Larrea’s play is hardly a mystery to scouts and Euroleague fans alike – given his rotational minutes for contender Valencia Basket – the late draft intrigue surrounding Sergio De Larrea circles around speculation as to just how high he can climb in tomorrow’s NBA draft. Though most European prospects are notoriously difficult to evaluate, as their minutes are oftentimes limited if they play for a top European club, De Larrea is a notable exception and his game is mature beyond his years. What, then, makes De Larrea such a polarizing prospect to evaluate is the juxtaposition of his extremely high basketball IQ, with his physical limitations. With this in mind, it is clear that De Larrea’s success in the NBA and eventual player development will highly depend on his landing spot. A team that exudes patience and gives De Larrea the room to operate with creativity and function as a lead guard, orchestrating sets, will enable Sergio to maximize his potential. On the other hand, if a team drafts him and decides to reduce him to a 3-and-D secondary ball handler and corner 3 weapon, they may not optimize his development. Importantly, the next few years will be critical for determining what type of player Sergio will become at the pro level. While De Larrea is already an impressive role player at the highest level of Europe, a move to the NBA’s space and pace, might just unlock another level of playmaking.

Damn it. He is supposed to be a sleeper, a mid second round guy. Why all these people finally figuring it out? Ugh.

He likely goes first round IMO. I’d take him as high as late teens.

[Wizop]

He's high on my list of targets should the Pacers get back into the draft at the bottom of the first round or the top of the second round.

[jman3134]

Watch the Knicks take him.

[jman3134]

Wow!^^^

[SNPA]

So bummed he didn’t make it to my team.

[Wizop]

Watch the Knicks take him.

but then traded him.
