The Red Mamba is no Kyle Korver.

Who is his NBA comp (no Klay)?

Super top-end (but unlikely): Gordon Hayward- very good scorer, who plays good defense, but isn't in that upper top tier of guys

Most likely- Maybe Dell Curry-esque. About 12 per night, with efficient shooting. Never tries to do more than he can. If i remember Dell right, he'd shoot your eyes out, but could drive at times. Probably a better example, that that is what came to my mind. Bob Sura maybe?

I would say Gordon Hayward for now.

Why we always gotta compare a white guy to another white guy .

ESPN said young Mike Miller... but I think he has the potential to be better.  He might be the second coming of JJ2 for the Hawks, but the youngin will show us who he is.

He kind of reminds me of a young Allan Houston from back in his Detroit day.

I like him.

Solid comparison.  I can totally see it.  Hopefully with a little bit better ball handling capabilities.

Good recovery by the Hawks to essentially turn Adreian Payne into this pick. Huerter looks like he'll have a much bigger impact than Payne ever did. Kid has gorgeous shooting form - should be a treat to watch him shoot 3's every night!

Klay is half white himself so......

[nitte]

By the way even though he is a sophmore, he is slightly younger than Ayton, MPJ and Bamba. I am hopeful for this pick.

[thecampster]

I watched him play back in January and this is who he reminded me of at that time. I think if he turns into 1/2 the player Hornacek was, I'd be thrilled.

 

[thecampster]

On a side note,  I lamented earlier in the year how I hated how little college ball I watched this year and then while watching the draft last night, I was surprised how many of the highlights I'd watched live.  I might need counseling.

[AHF]

Whoever the comparable is needs to be able to pass the ball and handle the ball a little while having a nice jumper.  Decent size but thin and with nearly no dunking ability.  Was thinking his ceiling might be Rip Hamilton with a little less mid-range game and D and a little more 3pt range.

[thecampster]

I just see that hard pound when driving the lane right and he's a clone of Hornacek in that approach to the basket.

[GameTime]

Also i'm not buying he cannot play defense. He has above average athleticism and good feet/technique.

 clearly have not watched a lot of tape on Huerter if you're saying "with nearly no dunking ability"

 

Really?

Go to 1:27

nbadraft.net says Fred Hoiberg . . . but The Mayor was only 6-4

AHF must be still upset over Doncic...He is starting to sound like that other Grinch

[kerrypack]

I listened to some podcast talk about huerter.

I didnt hear all the detail because I listened as i ran, but he can catch the ball and put up off balanced jumpers quickly that will go in.  that is what they blathered on about.

his athleticism is very good: https://stats.nba.com/draft/combine-strength-agility/#!?sort=MAX_VERTICAL_LEAP&dir=1

he obviously needs to get stronger.

in terms of spellman... he is a fatbody.  he loses that weight he could be an elite athlete?

Chauncey compared him to early career Mike Miller (ROY and 6th man of the Year)

I see some Gordon Heyward just not as aggressive attacking, which can come.

A lot of comments on his highlights compared him to Klay Thompson

Ill take any of those. Kids got game 

Yo if we got a young Mike Miller we lucked up.
