I know most people dont follow this depths of college basketball and these guys kind of go through the wayside. The three guards I like--Valentine MCCaw and forbes--the more I read the more I believe that Valentine simply will not be a guy we can get in almost every trade scenario--I think hes going to go top 14 now which essentially eliminates us. So we focus now on what will help us going 4ward and there is a lot to like about McCaw--he just got invited to the combine which means hes highly likely to stay in the draft. Hes a 6-7 SG and hes a really good all around player true 2 way player and the things that separates him from alot of other guards in this draft--he can HANDLE the ball well at 6-7 with long arms. Hes a tad on the skinny side but that has little meaning in the nBA. Hes got a lot of what we would want out of a SG good passer rebounder a top collegiate defender nice form on his shot despite being only 19. He reminds me a lot of a young Paul George--hes got a lot of upside and hes a player who is reasonable in terms of us having the ability to acquire him either with a very late 1 or early 2---assets I would deem are obtainable from our position. Hes a player who would jump into the lottery or high lottery if he stayed 1 more year--so youre getting the talent and the value.

He shot well from distance as a freshman. I suspect he has a poor in between game but transitiion, catch n shoot, & drives he does well at. As a second round roject sure but you are wrong to think his lack of size won't matter. He needs 15 lbs to his frame to even think about becoming a rotational player. I bet if you put him and sophomore Josh Richardson you'd think McCaw was further along for whatever that's worth. His defensive tenacity is intriguing though.
