I swear this guy caught my eye in one of the tourney games, I think. Nice looking shot and good size. I need to confirm. Not that I thought he was a first round pick but it looked like an interesting guy on a deep Auburn team.

Miles Kelly
Wing.
Shooter? Iffy stats.
Didn't measure at combine.
Not on most draft lists. Didn't make Athletic top 100, didn't get a writeup at NBAdraft.net.
Questionable project.
I'd rather they use a two-way on someone else.

Catch and shoot game looks pretty legit, tbh. Not the quickest release, but he's efficient at organizing his feet, and from a variety of spots/angles. He's got that RIP Hamilton/Reggie Miller style movement shooter vibe down, at least in the highlights.

looks like he already has nba range
but I guess being so far out was purposeful because of the slow release

Is he better than AJ Lawson?

Is he better than AJ Lawson?

Probably not.  But Lawson is a good example of the path you need to take.  You need to be a grinder.   Lawson was a good college player but not drafted.  He has bounced around the league for years.  Let go from a few, moved on from others and has received a few two way deals and even called up a time or two.   Most of the times that is the best you can hope for, but some guys break free.

I got to be honest I like what I have from him and Cleveland.  Both are really long shots, but worth a look.  I am pretty surprised Mavs made two two way offers from this draft class.

Wow, those are some deep threes.  Even 2 over Flagg
