There are a lot of concerns about his body and wingspan but I wonder how would you all feel if you assessed him from a PG perspective as opposed to a SG perspective. Not right away obviously, but if we develop him with that in mind the next 3 years I could see him as a feasible option from there.
I don't want to do this because I know everyone will jump down my throat for even suggesting it but if you think of him as a Steph Curry type of player rather than a Klay Thompson or Devon Booker type I think that comparison from a body type, wingspan and some of the skills perspective makes more sense at a freshman level at college.
Keep in mind Curry played 3 years of college before entering the league at Davidson where he had free reign and had high USG rate of 38.3% his junior year (other years not recorded) where Herro only had almost half that amount at Kentucky with 21%. Curry's freshman season he only averaged 2.8apg, his sophomore season 2.9apg and his junior year he made considerable a improvement and got it to 5.6apg, Herro had 2.5apg. I think Curry was and always will be a better ball handler and play maker than Herro but he doesn't necessarily need to be at Curry's level to be more than serviceable at that position.
If he can improve his deficient skills to even a B- version of Curry's then I think that would be great on this team especially when he and Justice would be sharing the ball handling responsibilities down the line.
Learning from Dragic should he stay next season, I could very easily see him becoming a better shooting and off the ball moving version of Dragic with better size and strength at PG.
Hey Dean, I love it. Can you pass me that Bol Bol when you're done with it though? I need some of whatever you're smoking.
