Kentucky Wildcats: Tyler Herro

On a team in Kentucky that is routinely stacked top-to-bottom with NBA talent, freshman guard Tyler Herro is one of the only legitimate NBA draft prospects.

Regardless, Herro is one of the better prospects in the class, possessing a special combo of game control and shooting ability.

Herro is a well above-average shooter, prime passer, and runs the offense as good as any guard in the country. For a player that wasn’t necessarily on the radar of any teams or scouts heading into the season, Herro’s rise up draft big boards was a surprise.

Additionally, he would be a great fit on the Bulls. Herro wouldn’t start just yet but is the type of high-percentage shooter and premier passer that the Bulls could certainly use off the bench.

Finally, Herro’s progression from the start of the season makes him a serious sleeper candidate in the draft. The Bulls could move into the middle of the first round, select Herro, and give him a year to develop off the bench.

Herro wouldn’t be an option in the lottery, but if the Bulls decide to add a second first round pick like they did last year, Herro would be a viable option to add depth to the bench, while having serious future starter potential.

Whenever Herro is ready to contribute in the rotation, the Bulls will have themselves a good point guard that is an above-average passer, shooter and has a plus feel for the game.
