NBA Draft 2019: Big Board 4.0

After a slow start to the season, Tyler Herro has been rising up draft boards throughout conference and tournament play. In 18 SEC games, he shot 42.1 percent on 4.2 three-point attempts per game, adding a much-needed perimeter threat to the Cats’ talented rotation.

In an NBA that’s gravitating more and more toward the three-point line, high-level shooters with guard skills are at a premium. Take Landry Shamet as an example. Herro has the touch to hit spot-up jumpers at a high clip, whether it’s standstill or on the move. He also has some underrated passing chops.

Defense will present some concerns — the main reason for him not being higher on the board — but he’s a solid first-round prospect who should garner the interest of several NBA teams. He’s a standout weapon in Kentucky’s sea of athletes.
