2019 NBA Draft 2.0 - I can be your Herro baby

[greg4012]

Huh, Herro is used off screens. Kentucky did not use Herro as a ball handler. One sign that a team does not herald someone one ball handling is when teams presses. If your coaches remove you from being a ball handler to break the press and stick you in the corner. You are not a ball handler sir, especially if you are a guard.

Think about how Cal operates. He likes to compartmentalize his players. Booker was not used as a ballhandler either.

Ok, again. Kapono and Herro have the same body types. Booker and Herro do not. So why are you trying to force a comparison for Booker instead of Kapono?

Did I make a comparison to Booker or did I provide context to how their mutual coach uses players? If I were to make a comparison, I'd trend towards JJ Redick.

Mike Miller was a better prospect than Herro and Booker or Kapono. Mike Miller was a lot bigger and a lot more athletic.

Again, you ignoring the body type and athleticism. Reddick is smaller than Herro and a lot faster off the ball. Herro is not particullarly fast. He is smart ala Kapono. You can actually use Reddick somewhat to break presses.

Mike Miller wasn’t a PNR ballhandler neither was Jason Kapono

...or I see things differently than you. I know you'r the authority on all things. But, perspective does exist.

[twix2500]

JJ reddick is 6'4 with a 6'4 wingspan. Herro is 6'6 with a 6'3 wingspan.

[HeatIn5]

He wasnt being used as no dam pick n roll ball handler. He was running off of screens and hand offs. Majority of his game was shooting, even more so than Kapono.

You obviously did not watch Herro then...

What do you see different? Kapono and Herro have the same body type and athleticism, ran the same plays. Kapono was actually a more heralded college player.

[batterybro42]

Guess I can’t be too mad at the lazy Kapono comparisons dude shot 44% from 3 for his entire career. In the modern NBA that’s a 10-15 mil a year guy.

But hey Kapono was 6-8 played small forward and couldn’t do anything but shoot, so let’s compare him to the guard we got who slashes and plays in the PNR

[HeatIn5]

JJ reddick is 6'4 with a 6'4 wingspan. Herro is 6'6 with a 6'3 wingspan.

and Jason Kapono is 6'8. Can we stop this?

YO I just watch full games of Kapono and Herro. Im watching the full games. Not highlights. I am telling you the Wildcats shy away from Herro as a ball handler when teams press. I cant say that if I am not watching the game.

Same body type and athleticism???? Ran the same plays????

Maybe. I don't see Mike doing anything here that Mike Jr. shouldn't be able to do

JFM, dont do that to yourself. I looked up his combine numbers. He was 6'6.5"

I see Herro as an average athlete. But I think he's more athletic than Kapono. I see Herro showing a more refined midrange game off the dribble and a better ability to finish at the rim.

Trust me I've watched full games too. It also could help that Kentucky had a couple of the best PG's in the country in Hagans and Quickly

But you're right. Herro will definitely struggle against NBA full court press. Because that happens a lot..

They shy away? You're taught to get the ball to your on-ball point guard, or a big in the middle and then break from there. They don't "shy away" They run their press break.

You're nitpicking.

You also went from talking about him as a p&r ball handler to talking about him breaking a press?

Those are 2 very very different things.

You ok twix?

[Feel_the_Heat15]

People just don't understand how good of a shooter Herro was in college. In Herro's first 10 games, he made 28% of his 3s and 85% of his FTs, but in his last 27 games he made 38.7% of his 3s and 95.9% of his FTs. Those are amazing numbers. He might not become a top 20 scorer but he could become a top 10 shooter in the NBA like Steve Nash was.

I looked up google. You don't think it's plausible that Kapono grew an inch in 20 years?


EDIT: Twix... come on man... Kapono 6'6.5 without shoes.... How often do guys ball without shoes?

This feels like the Bam apologism after the pick. Woy

Bruh, Kapono ave 3.3 shots made a game at two pointers at 56%. Herro average 3.4 shots made a game at two pointers at 53%. Neither players games were below the 3 point line
