Especially one that didn't even make it past the sweet 16.

Is there anyone that is going to take up the mantle of Nassir Little advocate? I'd like to see someone bake out the argument for him because I both don't see it and also kinda want to like him.

I am kinda in the same boat, he is the type of guy who has a lot to work on so therefore you feel he can get a lot better.

Everything I have read says he has a great head on his shoulders. Mix that with his impressive physical components- huge wingspan, huge hands, 38 inch vert. If he is able to mix these two together he has a chance to be an allstar type player.

Scouts have been impressed with his shooting in workouts, form looks fine. Has the body to be an above average defender. His tape could be positioned in a way to make him look great, but his numbers look bad.

I think he has shown enough to be worth a top 10 pick. It’s just going to get him used to having the ball more. Think him and Miles could co-exist, you basically play 2 small forwards now a days.

Man this draft really sucks after the top 3. I said Hunter here, if his shot translates he'll be a real solid role player. A guy with that low of a ceiling at #5 tho.... yikes

I wouldn't mind Nassir at 12 if we didn't have Miles. I feel like they overlap too much. If Nassir was either a little taller to defend larger forwards or had better lateral quickness to defend shooting guards, he'd be more appealing.

Little is a year three player. Lots to work on, but lots to work with. Same as with Monk. Worthy of #12, but must not expected to have an impact in year one. Cannot be trusted to produce consistently, especially from long range. Take him for year three and be happy if he gives you anything worthwhile before that.
