I was reading about that top five recruit that is apparently going to go play for Crean at Georgia which absolutely blows my mind. As an IU fan I can’t see why any top recruit would want to play for him? But anyways, it then said that Herro is leaning towards going into the draft this year. Is that real? I don’t watch many UK games but he’s not good enough to go anytime soon is he? The way this board talks about him he doesn’t sound to be nearly as good as his ranking coming in? Anyways, I just wondered? And yes, I know IU is terrible this year...I know I know
Herro

No article knows which way Tyler Herro is "leaning" right now.
As I've said before, if a 6'4 SG with short arms and average NBA athleticism is OAD, he'll be the first.

He was a 4 star that was ranked in the high 30s or low 40s. I'd say he is out performing where most guys in that range perform.
He is averaging 13.5 point, 5 rebounds (from the 2 guard spot), 1 steal, with a 2/1 Assist/TO ratio. He is shooting 45%(fg%) and 35%(3)(since conf play he is over 40...he had a slow start.)
He's basically a swiss army knife that is constantly moving off the ball and can create his own shot at all 3 levels, whether it be off the screen or off the dribble 1 on 1. He'll only get better with more reps. He is also proving to be a pretty solid defender.
He is a fringe 1st/2nd Round guy as of now. If he comes back and shoots over 40% for the season from 3 next season and shows a touch of PG ability then he will be a Lotto pick.

Jack Pilgrim on his Monday's Insider notes said he doesn't like school and is leaning to go pro. Not that that guy knows anything...but I wonder where he got that info?
Herro is much better than his ranking coming out of HS. Dude was a 4 star and is averaging 13.5 ppg as a true Freshman. If anyone expected anymore than that out of a 4 star player, then I’m not sure what they were smoking.
I’m with you on that. That’s why I’m asking the fans that have watched him all year. I just don’t see an NBA player in him. Yes, he’ll be a great collegiate player if he stays 4 years but he’ll end up in China as a pro.

This is spot on. right now he is a top 25-35 pick but if he comes back and improves he is a top 15 pick.
Maybe so. But he also may know those things aren't going to change and that he might as well go now and fight for his spot in the league.
There's also always been whispers (mostly from Wisconsin fans) that he doesn't love school, and no one would deny that the kid is incredibly confident in himself, so it's possible that he just makes the leap regardless of the feedback he gets testing the waters.
But again, if he does, he'll be the first guy with his draft profile to do so.
Yes but he is one of the most overall talented guys Cal has ever had here. I don't mean in run and jump ( though Herro is pretty athletic) I mean in overall skill. He is one of the top 10-15 freshmen in the country. He was underrated bigtime if he was ranked in the 30's. Kid is overall our best player along with PJ as of late. Not most physically gifted but between shooting , D , passing , driving , ice water veins , fight ect ect. he is the best player . KJ is the most physically gifted but there is a difference. If he comes back he will be in the top 3-5 for POY next year. He is Devin Booker with much more defensive .
Thanks guys, I just wanted wondered. I was surprised to see that leaving was even a possibility but maybe he’s better than I thought?
His profile is far beyond what you are saying though. He is the Klay Thompson model . Here at UK we say Booker but unlike Booker he is a really good defender like Klay. Not saying he is Klay or Booker but if those guys are successful in the league Herro will be .
Klay Thompson is 6'7 with a 6'9 wingspan and shot nearly 40% from 3 in college.
Devin Booker is 6'5 barefoot with a 6'8 wingspan.
Herro is 6'4 with a 6'4 wingspan. That matters a lot, especially when he hasn't shot the ball as well as advertised. He can definitely be a JJ Redick type player, where he's a good defender and passer, but he has to shoot it consistently from deep at a really high level for them to overlook the physical stuff.
As of now, second round. Herro would benefit returning a second year Ala PJ. 2019 has a few guards in it already. 2020 imo is a weaker draft guard wise that is...
Herro has been improving even with teams setting of defenses for him. Herro is on all scouting reports for sure now. He needs to fill out some more and get to the line more often where he is automatic. If he can do that with more regularity look out

Yeah, that's why I think he'd be better off staying another year and developing his 3 pt shot further. If he's not shooting above 40% against college defenses, he won't last long in the NBA. That's if he wants to make it in the NBA, not just cash in on his rookie contract and then go to Europe/China. It's all up to him though.
In shoes, sure. But when they measure him as 6'3.75 barefoot or something at the combine and his vertical is in the low 30s and his wingspan is the same as his height, they're really going to start caring about small differences and details.
Sounds like he is fine then. I wish the kid the best. Can you believe that Anthony kid is going to play for Crean? He must have grown up a die hard Georgia fan of is getting a big payday from boosters or someone?
Right. We all remember JJ Redick's one year at Duke before leaving for the NBA.
Probably from the official measurements that were done before the season. Herro was 6'4 without shoes. We fudge these on the positive side for guys almost every year.
UK pro day measurements:

He actually has a negative wing span if you take his height in shoes.

I was thinkng FSU but it has to be Louisville since he bashed Herro as a four year overseas player. Isn't he the guy that keeps getting his "burner"accounts banned? He must still be butthurt over Herro lighting up the BUM Center for 24 pts. on 10-13 shooting. [laughing]
There has been another player recently that had a negative wing span, anybody remember who it was? Maybe Kennard?

Luke Kennard Height (w/ shoes): 6-5 Height (w/o shoes): 6-4.75 Weight: 187.4 Wingspan: 6-5 Standing Reach: 8-2.5 -
He's a great comparison for Herro (not because he is white). Played pretty well as a freshman and then came back as a sophomore and really upped his game.

I’m really an IU fan that read about that top recruit that’s probably going to play for Crean which blew my mind. Then it said Herro was probably going pro which led to this thread.
I’m not bashing Herro at all I think he’s a great player. I just didn’t know that he was nba good?
Right. That explains everything. An Indiana fan read about the possibility of a top-5 recruit playing for a former Indiana coach now at Georgia and his first instinct was to create a new account and start posting about Tyler Herro on a UK message board.
Loserville fans. Disgusted by how far they have fallen. You piss holes used to be much better at this. Just look at yourself.
Not trying to play on the white factor, but what exactly makes herro oad compared to reddick who was a 4 yr player? Reddick is the better shooter but herro is better at creating, and is more athletic. Personally, I don’t think he’s ready and had he gone to Wisconsin he would be there at minimum 3 years. He really needs atleast 2 years in school. It’s not like his family is hurting, and need the cash. Him going to Kentucky is like hitting the lottery. The question becomes do you take the lump sum or the annual payments? If he leaves and flames out after 3 years, then that sucks, but if he stays another year or 3 it could pay off even bigger.
