Another Kentucky guard, Tyler Herro salvaged his stock after a slow start to the campaign. His shooting will be the main draw for NBA teams, along with a 6-foot-6 frame and defensive intangibles. He, similar to the aforementioned Jerome, has a very clear NBA skill.

Herro’s 35.5 percent clip on three-point attempts was less than stellar, but his percentages trended upward in conference play. He has compact, fluid mechanics, allowing him to shoot in tight spaces. His transition from dribble to shot is quick and he’s a strong spot-up threat.

In addition to his shooting, Herro flashed upside as a playmaker, perhaps taking on a secondary creation role in the NBA. He can handle, make passes in the pick-and-roll and bend defenses with his pull-up threat. There’s a lot to like about Herro’s offensive package.
