are really 1st rounders in other drafts and we only have to pay minimal cost. Larkin was a 1st round pick last year soits a start of putting players together while controlling cost and flexibility.

YUP!!! I loved Larkin for us in the draft. I liked his physical talent and skills. People are sleeping on him cuz he was injured and wasn't able to show much of anything, but he was drafted 18 for a reason.

Chad Ford

Larkin is one of the best, if not the best, pick-and-roll point guards in the draft. He also is one of the two or three best athletes and can shoot it, too. Sounds like an All-Star, right? Maybe, but he's also the smallest guard in the draft with an even smaller wingspan.

Quick fact: Larkin averaged 6.4 points per game (sixth in nation) as the pick-and-roll ball handler and operated on such plays 46.7 percent of the time (first in nation) he was on the court.
Draft Express

Shane Larkin's value proposition at the next level is simple, he created more combined points on the pick and roll for himself and his teammates last season than any prospect in the country at 14.3 points per-game. Playing in a pick and roll heavy, pro-style offense, Larkin kept defenses honest with his jump shot, which ranks second most efficient in this group at 1.137 points per-shot, and showed excellent command of the ball, turning the ball over on just 11.3% of his possessions creating in the two-man game. While scouts will scrutinize his size, his efficiency as a scorer and prolific shot creating ability seem tailor made for the NBA game.

A winner. Tough nosed, confident, competitive PG with solid leadership abilities ... Quickness and leadership gives him a real chance to overcome size deficiencies ... In today's NBA game, being able to effectively run the pick and roll is crucial, and that's Larkin's greatest strength

I still think phil finds a way to get a late 1st rounder. Plus if we are able to do a S/T with melo we will most likely et more picks(although they would have been drafted aleady so at least we would know who we are getting)
